2024 U.S. Women's Open Winner and Scores

The 2024 U.S. Women's Open was the 79th time this major championship was played. And it was the second time that Yuka Saso won this title.

Winner: Yuka Saso, 276

Where it was played: Lancaster Country Club in Lancaster, Pennsylvania

Tournament dates: May 30-June 2, 2024

Leader after first round: Yuka Saso, 68

Leader after second round: Wichanee Meechai, 136

Leaders after third round: Minjee Lee, Andrea Lee, Wichanee Meechai, 205

Notes: Yuka Saso became a 2-time U.S. Women's Open winner, adding this title to her 2021 USWO victory. Those were also her only two wins on the LPGA Tour to this point in her career. Unlike in her 2021 victory, however, Saso did not need a playoff this time: She won by three strokes over runner-up Hinako Shibuno.

Of the three third-round co-leaders, only Andrea Lee held her game together in the final round. She hung in for most of the round, but ultimately couldn't keep up with Saso's back-nine birdies and made two late bogeys. Saso shot 68 in the final round, while Andrea Lee had a 75. Wichanee Meechai had a 77 and dropped to sixth. The big surprise was Minjee Lee's collapse after opening with a birdie. She had a 78 and fell to ninth.

Saso had her own moment in the final round when she could have started a long slide to a high score: She four-putted for double bogey on the sixth hole. But unlike some others who started the day on the leaderboard, Saso kept it together. And on the back nine she made birdies on Nos. 12 and 13, plus Nos. 15 and 16, to capture the USWO trophy.

The tournament got off to an unexpected start. Early in the week, Lexi Thompson, who first played in the U.S. Women's Open at age 12 and went on to win a major, announced her retirement from full-time LPGA play at the age of 29. Then, Nelly Korda, who had won six of her previous seven LPGA starts, made a score of 10 on her third hole of the tournament, and went on to miss the cut.
