Update:
Minjee Lee claimed the second major tournament of her career on Sunday, winning the U.S. Women’s Open by four strokes from Mina Harigae. The 26-year-old shot an even-par 71 on Sunday at Pine Needles, extending her one-stroke lead from Harigae coming into the final round.
The world number four coming into this weekend, Lee started strongly with birdies on the opening two holes of the round, giving her a healthy buffer from the chasing pack.
Lee broke the record for the lowest total score over 72 holes with 271, beating the scores of 272 set by Chun In-gee, Juli Inkster and Annika Sorenstam.
She also became the third Australian to win the US Women’s Open after Jan Stephenson and Karrie Webb, who also won at Pine Needles in 2001.
