CN Canadian Women's Open Trivia and Notes:
- The first five years of the tournament's history, it was 54 holes in length. It switched to its current 72-hole format in 1978.
- Jocelyne Bourassa won the inaugural tournament, then called the La Canadienne, in 1973. Bourassa is the only Canadian golfer to date to win the Canadian Women's Open.
- From 1979 through 2000, this tournament - known as the du Maurier Classic for most of those years - was counted as an LPGA major. But when du Maurier dropped sponsorship, the tourney lost its major championship status (replaced by the Women's British Open). All winners from those years are still credited with major championship victories, however.
- Meg Mallon (2000, 2002, 2004) and Pat Bradley (1980, 1985, 1986) share the tournament record for wins with three each.
- Beth Daniel's win in 2003 was the 33rd - and last - victory of her LPGA career.
- Ayako Okamoto never won the Canadian Women's Open, despite carrying a 6-stroke lead into the final round in 1987. That's the record for largest 54-hole lead, and also for largest 54-hole lead lost. Okamota finished runner-up three times here, another tournament record.
- Cristie Kerr began the final round in 2006 eight strokes behind leader Angela Stanford. But Kerr shot 65 to Stanford's 74 to get the win - and the tournament record for biggest final-round comeback.
- When Song-Hee Kim set the tournament's 18-hole scoring record in 2009, her 62 included one nine of 28, also a tourney record.
