Key contenders at the U.S. Women’s Open
All eyes are on some of the top female golfers in the world, including the likes of Nelly Korda and defending champion Yuka Saso. While Korda had a phenomenal season in 2024, with seven wins on tour, she is yet to claim her first U.S. Women’s Open title.
Worldo. 2, Atthaya Thitikul, who has already cracked being within the top five in the world at just 22, will pose a threat to her fellow competitors with her impeccable ball-striking and exceptional skills around the greens. Lydia Ko, a new member of the LPGA Hall of Fame and an Olympic gold medalist, will also be threatening the likes of Korda and Saso with her short game skills, especially her saves from the bunker, for which she is ranked 4th on the LPGA statistics.
While the tournament will see other notable names like Charley Hull, Lexi Thompson, and Jin Young Ko, a few prominent names like Alison Lee and Georgia Hall will be missing. With a mix of seasoned champions and emerging talents vying for the prestigious title, golf enthusiasts can look forward to four days of exceptional competition and memorable moments.
