LANCASTER, USA — Japan's Yuka Saso powered away on the back nine to win her second US Women's Open title Sunday , carding a two-under-par 68 for a three-shot victory at Lancaster Country Club in Pennsylvania. Saso finished with a four-under-par total of 276 to claim her second LPGA tour title three years after winning the US Open at the Olympic Club in San Francisco -- when she represented the Philippines.
Third-round co-leader Wichanee Meechai of Thailand shot a 77 to finish in a group on 282 while two-time major winner Minjee Lee endured a nightmare round of 78 to fall into a group on 283.Australia's Lee still had a two-shot lead at the turn, despite failing to find a fairway on the front nine.But as her mistakes mounted, Saso found her groove, drilling a 10-foot birdie putt at the 12th and taking the solo lead with a birdie at the par-five 13th.
