Yuka Saso was always in contention for the title of the 2024 US Women’s Open, even being the leader after the first round. The Japanese took advantage of the fact that Wichanee Meechai, the leader after 54 holes, scored 7 over during the fourth round to climb to the top of the leaderboard and stay there.
Saso’s fourth round was five birdies, one bogey and one double bogey (4 under 68). This performance gave her a three-stroke lead over compatriot Hinako Shibuno.
At the age of 22 (she will turn 23 on June 20), Yuka Saso is the youngest double major champion in history, having previously won the US Women’s Open in 2021. She is also the third player to claim two majors as her first two LPGA Tour victories (Se Ri Pak, In Gee Chun).
15-year-old rising star Asterisk Talley tied with Megan Schofill and Catherine Park as the low amateurs of the event (T44, 12 over).
