Stark Cruises To US. Women’s Open Title And Becomes First Time Major Winner

When the final scores were tallied on Sunday afternoon at the U.S. Women’s Open presented by Ally, it was ultimately Sweden’s Maja Stark who hoisted the Harton S. Semple trophy, becoming the first European to win this major championship since Annika Sorenstam in 2006.

It was a nearly perfect final-round effort from Stark, who carded an even-par 72 after holding the 54-hole lead at 7-under overall, what was just the second time that she has ever held a third-round lead or co-lead on the LPGA Tour and her first time doing so since the 2023 Buick LPGA Shanghai.
