Ohio Hosted Two Professional Tournaments in July Rains Can’t Dampen the Excitement At The Dana Open Every year, since 1984, except for 1986 and 2011, Toledo has hosted an LPGA tournament. Formerly called the Jamie Farr Toledo Classic, then the LPGA Marathon Classic, the Dana Corporation assumed sponsorship rights in 2022. The Dana Open is one of the longest running events on the LPGA’s schedule and has generated over $13.7 million for local children’s charities. Some of golf’s biggest names have won on the Highland Meadows course. This year’s event was forced to navigate thunderstorms that blew through the area on the weekend, but was able to finish all four rounds. Linn Grant, from Sweden, became the second player to win on both the Ladies European Tour (LET) and the LPGA in 2023. She won the Jabra Ladies Open in May and now is a first-time winner on the LPGA Tour. This is Grant’s second year on the LPGA Tour and has not missed a cut in six starts this season. This was her first visit to Toledo. Ohio Golf Journal
