Erin, Wisconsin – Maja Stark has lost confidence in the openness of American women.<\/p>\n

Her decision to stop worrying about it sparked her into the biggest title of women’s golf.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old Swede shot an equal 72 on Sunday and went ahead all day. A total of 7 under 281 over the four days at Erin Hills left two strokes behind top-ranked Nelly Corda and Japan’s Rio Takeda.<\/p>\n

“I think I stopped trying to control everything, so I made it all happen like everything happened,” Stark said. “During practice days, I realized that if I just hovered the club onto the ground before I attacked, I’d released tension in my body. I think this week is key because I really don’t want to rely on my confidence.”<\/p>\n

Stark became the sixth Swedish to win a women’s major and became the first in the 2021 Women’s British Open since Anna Nordqvist. Stark also won her second career LPGA Tour title.<\/p>\n

The former Oklahoma player is the first Swedes to win the US Women’s Open since Anica Sorenstam won her third title in 2006.<\/p>\n

“They just texted me yesterday and said, ‘Take it home,'” Stark said.<\/p>\n

Stark’s stability made a difference when she held back Korda and many other challengers.<\/p>\n
