LANCASTER, Pa.—Yuka Saso became a U.S. Women’s Open champion for the second time Sunday, June 2, and took her place in history with a rare footnote—the first Filipino to win the Women’s Open in 2021, and now the first from Japan to win women’s golf' biggest event.
No matter the flag, the 22-year-old Saso delivered a masterful performance at Lancaster Country Club with a 2–under 68. She ran off four birdies in a five-hole stretch on the back nine amid a series of collapses and won without much drama.
