Sweden’s Maja Stark wins the U.S. Women’s Open for her first major championship

Maja Stark won the 80th U.S. Women's Open at Erin Hills, Wisconsin on Sunday with a seven-under 281 total, capturing her first major title by two strokes over Nelly Korda and Rio Takeda.
Stark started the final round with a one-stroke lead and maintained steady play despite pressure from top-ranked Korda and Takeda, both finishing two strokes behind.
During the final round, Stark extended her lead with key birdies at holes 6, 11, and 14, held a three-stroke advantage before closing with back-to-back bogeys on the last holes.
Stark credited a relaxed mindset and support from caddie Jeff Brighton, earning a $2.4 million prize in the season’s most lucrative women’s golf event.
Her triumph marked Stark as the first Swedish golfer to claim the U.S. Women’s Open title since Annika Sorenstam’s victory in 2006, and she became the sixth Swedish player overall to secure a major championship in women’s golf.
