Maja Stark’s Breakthrough Win at the 2025 U.S. Women’s Open

Maja Stark’s triumph at the 2025 U.S. Women’s Open at Erin Hills was a masterclass in composure and precision. Holding off world No. 1 Nelly Korda and Japan’s Rio Takeda, Stark clinched her first major title with a final-round 72, finishing at 7-under-par 281. Her victory marks a significant milestone, making her the first Swedish woman to win the U.S. Women’s Open since Annika Sörenstam in 2006.

At just 25 years old, Stark’s ascent in professional golf has been remarkable. A former standout at Oklahoma State University, she turned professional in 2021 and quickly made her mark with multiple victories on the Ladies European Tour. Her U.S. Women’s Open win not only adds a major championship to her resume but also solidifies her status as one of the game’s rising stars.
