The 2025 U.S. Women’s Open delivered a tightly contested competition featuring some of the top names in golf, including World No. 1 Nelly Korda. Held at Erin Hills Golf Course, the tournament saw Korda competing for her first career U.S. Women’s Open title.
Over four rounds, she demonstrated steady and impressive play, finishing the event at five under par. Despite maintaining strong form throughout the week and staying within reach of the lead, Korda ultimately finished tied for second. The title went to Sweden’s Maja Stark, who posted a seven-under-par total to secure the victory.
After the close miss at Erin Hills this year, Nelly Korda took to her official Instagram account and shared a few special moments from the 2025 US Women’s Open. Some of her was trying to make a putt, one shaking hands with her fans, one with her caddie, and she ended the last one signing scorecards.
Talking about the difficulty of the course, in the caption, she wrote:
“@uswomensopen is always a TEST 🤪😉Hopefully trending in the right direction 🙂 Thank you to everyone who came out and supported!”
Stark’s performance edged out the rest of the field, marking a significant win in her career. Korda’s result, while just short of the win, further reinforced her status as one of the most consistent and competitive players on the LPGA Tour this season.
Just like most other LPGA Tour pros, she also congratulated Maja Stark on her maiden Major win. In the same caption, she added:
“Congratulations to @majastark1 on an amazing performance! Go pack go! 🧀”
The World No. 1 may have failed to win another Major, but needless to say, this season has been a roller coaster for Nelly Korda.
