Minjee Lee wins US Women’s Open, record $1.8 million
SOUTHERN PINES, North Carolina: The awesome Aussie would not be denied. Minjee Lee won the US Women’s Open by four strokes over Mina Harigae at Pine Needles on Sunday to earn $1.8 million, the largest payout in the history of women’s golf. Lee closed with an even-par 71 to finish at 13-under 271 after the Australian flirted with the tournament record of 16 under set by Juli Inkster in 1999 at Old Waverly.
