Nelly Korda has categorised her relationship with the US Women’s Open as “complicated.” She believes she’s more emotional about this major because the first time she played in it she was 14.
Sweden’s Maja Stark claimed her maiden major title at the 2025 US Women’s Open, holding off a world-class leaderboard while Hannah Green posted a career-best result to top the Australian contingent at Erin Hills in Wisconsin.
As the final groups began their rounds on Sunday, Thompson posted on Instagram about her experience at Erin Hills. She began by thanking the USGA, fans and volunteers for their efforts and saying that she didn’t have the week she’d hoped she would. And then she got into the pace of play.
Hannah Green took a positive step forward in finding a remedy to a recent run of slow starts as fellow Aussie major winner Minjee Lee also made a solid opening to the US Women’s Open at Erin Hills.
Yes, these guys are good. But are they really that good? Or, has the tour, in its zeal to prove week in and week out how good they are, gone too far with sometimes laughably easy course setups?
