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.
Gabi Ruffels says watching YouTube highlights of Brooks Koepka’s breakthrough major victory in 2017 at Wisconsin’s Erin Hills course has inspired her quest to mix it the world’s best at the same venue for this week’s US Women’s Open.
As the final round looms, one of the three main contenders is a two-time major winner who seems to have ice running through her veins, another is a child star whose success on the professional circuit seems inevitable, and the last is a 31-year-old who had so little confidence in her game that she expected to shoot 80 and miss the cut, hates pressure and doesn’t think she handles it very well, seems dead tired from the hard walk at Lancaster Country Club, and has been coping with the fear of a ghost.
World No.5 and a major champion already, Hannah Green has returned to Lancaster Country Club to lead a six-strong Australian contingent at the $18 million US Women’s Open.
In her US Women’s Open debut, LPGA Tour rookie Natthakritta Vongtaveelap was disqualified after five holes during Thursday’s first round when her caddie, Jinsup Kim, was seen using a rangefinder multiple times.
The first time you watch this you might miss it. It’s easy to get distracted by Pebble Beach’s iconic seventh hole. Zhang’s move is cocoa-butter smooth and she sticks to it six feet. There’s a lot going on. But watch it again and focus on her tee.
The end of Michelle Wie West’s LPGA career is here, 20 years after her first US Women’s Open start at Pumpkin Ridge. The opportunity to tee it up at Pebble Beach has kept Wie West grounded as she contemplates what like will look like beyond playing professional golf.
She was barely two months old when it happened but Gabriela Ruffels has pored over YouTube highlights of Tiger Woods’ epic US Open win at Pebble Beach in preparation for this week’s US Women’s Open.
