TCU Diamond

TCU Diamond was a ballpark located on the campus of Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, Texas, and was the home of the TCU Horned Frogs baseball program for four decades. The ballpark hosted 1,480 TCU baseball games over 41 years; in the time the Horned Frogs posted an overall 867–605–8 home record. The Horned Frogs won Southwest Conference regular season championships in 1963 (co-champions with the Texas), 1966 (co-champions with Baylor, Texas and Texas A&M), 1967 (co-champions Texas), 1972 (co-champions with Texas), and 1994 while calling the TCU Diamond home. During the TCU Diamond era, the Horned Frogs played in the Southwest Conference (SWC) (1962–1996), Western Athletic Conference (WAC) (1997–2001), and Conference USA (CUSA) (2002). After the opening of Lupton Stadium, the Frogs would go on to achieve a decade of unprecedented success under head coach Jim Schlossnagle in CUSA (2003–2005), the Mountain West Conference (MWC) (2006–2012), and the Big 12 Conference (Big 12) (2013–). In the first 13 years after the closing of the TCU Diamond, TCU baseball won 10 CUSA, MWC and Big 12 regular season conference championships, 7 CUSA, MWC and Big 12 conference tournament championships, appeared in 11 NCAA Tournaments, won 5 NCAA Tournament Regional championships, and advanced to the program's first 3 College World Series, making the CWS semifinal round in two of those three trips. The venue held a capacity of 1,500 and sat adjacent to Amon G. Carter Stadium and Schollmaier Arena. In 2003, the TCU Diamond was razed with the opening of TCU baseball's new home at Lupton Stadium. The TCU Diamond foul poles were installed at Lupton Stadium and are the only remaining piece of the Diamond on the TCU campus. The land where the TCU Diamond sat is now the location of the Sam Baugh Indoor Practice Facility (football), Morris Practice Fields (football) and the Bob Lilly Physical Performance Center (all sports).

1991 U.S. Women's Open

The 1991 U.S. Women's Open was the 46th edition of the U.S. Women's Open, held July 11–14 at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas. Meg Mallon shot a final round 67 (−4) to finish at 283 (−1), two strokes ahead of runner-up Pat Bradley. Mallon trailed Bradley by three strokes with ten holes to play. It was the second of Mallon's four major titles; she won the LPGA Championship two weeks earlier. Mallon won her second U.S. Women's Open and final major thirteen years later in 2004. Play was so painstakingly slow during the first round that Lori Garbacz decided to protest. While playing the 14th hole, Garbacz had her caddie go to a nearby pay phone and order a pizza that she wanted delivered to the 17th tee. The pizza was waiting for Garbacz and she had plenty of time to eat it, as there were two groups ahead of her waiting to tee off.Mallon won $110,000, the championship's first six-figure winner's share. It was an increase of nearly 30% over the previous year and double that of just four years earlier. Mallon's name was also engraved into the course's Wall of Champions. Through 2019, this is the only time the championship has been played in the state of Texas. Colonial has been an annual stop on the PGA Tour since 1946; now known as the Charles Schwab Challenge, it is usually played in May. It also hosted the U.S. Open in 1941, the last before World War II. It was the last time a U. S. Women's Open was conducted on a golf course that hosts a men's PGA Tour annual event until 2023, when the tournament is scheduled to be conducted at the Pebble Beach Golf Links, one of the courses of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and the PURE Insurance Championship for the PGA Tour Champions (over-50).
