Yuka Saso Claims the 2024 U.S. Women’s Open Title at Lancaster Country Club

In a thrilling weekend of golf, Yuka Saso emerged as the champion at the 2024 U.S. Women’s Open held at Lancaster Country Club, securing her place in history alongside past legends like Babe Didrikson Zaharias and Annika Sorenstam.

Saso’s stellar performance granted her the coveted Mickey Wright medal and the prestigious Harton S. Semple Trophy for the next year. Additionally, she earned exemptions into the next 10 U.S. Women’s Opens and the next five major championships.

The U.S. Women’s Open, the oldest major championship in women’s golf, boasted a competitive field that included eight past champions vying for the title.

The $2.4 million first-place prize, the second-largest in women’s golf, now sits in Saso’s hands, setting her up for a rewarding year ahead. The 2024 CME Group Tour Championship winner, however, will outshine her with a $4 million payday.

Through her victory, Saso joins the elite ranks of U.S. Women’s Open champions, fueling her career with momentum and the opportunity to etch her name further in golfing history.
