Eileen, Wisconsin - Maja Stark continued her steady game throughout the week, winning the U.S. Women's Open and capturing her first major title on Sunday at Erin Hills.

Stark hit 72 and 72 with 281 7 shots, two shots ahead of top ranking Nelly Korda and Japan's Rio Takeda.

Stark earned $2.4 million in the biggest game of the women's golf season. The 25-year-old Stark became the sixth Swedish to win the women's major and the first since the 2021 Women's Open. The former Oklahoma State player is the first Swedish to win the U.S. Women's Open since Annika Sorenstam in 2006.

Stark won her second LPGA Tour title. She also won the 2022 ISPS Handa World Invitational in Northern Ireland, a event jointly approved by the Women's European Tour.

Korda ended with a score of 71, with Takeda hitting a 72 percentage.

Hye-jin Choi (68), Ruon Yin (70) and Mao Saigo (73) tied for fourth place. Hailee Cooper (70) and hinako shibuno (74) are under 3 years old.

Stark took a one-shot lead in the final round and said on Saturday to make sure he played, noting: “When they played, no one played well, I think it was my old habit and just wanted to stick with it.”

Her consistency ultimately makes that difference as Stark stays ahead throughout the day and stops the challenger.

It's still as close as Korda won the US Women's Open. Her best result before was ranked eighth in the pine needle competition in 2022.

Korda birded 7 and 8 but missed a 9-foot birdie putt that would have put her ahead. After Stark's Bogey-free Stream (7th place) ended with No. 21, her birdie attempt was 9th.

Stark then expanded the lead to three by making a 14-foot birdie putt on 11th immediately before Korda missed the par at less than 5 feet.

Korda, Shibuno and Takeda scored two in two 14 shots, although Korda missed the 14-foot Eagle Putt while Shibuno missed the 9.5-foot Eagle attempt.

Stark then won his own three-point advantage in the 14th Birdie. She booed the last two holes.

Her match partner, Julia Lopez Ramirez, broke off the quarrel on her way to the age of 79, which put her in the lead. Lopez Ramirez had three bogeys at the age of 18.
