2021 U.S. Women's Open Highlights: Round 4, Extended

It was a day to remember during the final round of the 2021 U.S. Women's Open at The Olympic Club in San Francisco, Calif. Lexi Thompson appeared poised to win her first Women's Open, but Nasa Hataoka and Yuka Saso caught her at the end. Eventually, Saso defeated Hataoka on the third playoff hole.

What a gutsy game of Saso. Congratulations.

[@omarlagasca7487]

After 2 double bogies on holes #2 and #3 and she still wins! WOW! Who is this Yuka Saso? Nineteen years old and unknown. Congratulations on winning a US Women’s Major Open Championship. A first for Philippine women and men’s golf.

[@marygolfer5697]

After stumbling a few holes in early 4th round, Yuka keeps hitting and putting aggressively. Par save putt at second play off hole and a birdie putt at third play off hole are perfection. What a beautiful swing she has!

[@leorepollo5182]

Wow! Wow! Wow! So proud of you Yuka, US Women's Open 2021! champion!! A zillion congratulations to you!!!!

[@billmurray1431]

These ladies have some serious skills on the golf course. Very impressive

[@tab529]

Yuka started playing golf at Royal Northwood Golf course in San Rafael Bulacan Philippines age 5 years old

[@mountainbikemayhem1833]

I’m here trying to see WTH happened. Turned it off after Lexi went up by 5…Saso and Ganne hitting everything except the parking lot. Fang looked like the only person who could challenge, but was seemingly too far back. Just wow!!!

[@RobertJohanssonRBImGuy]

Lexi Thompson had won the title with me as a coach. Her mechanics makes it so difficult its beyond why her coaches cant help her. I can Lexi

[@slayerde440]

Yea ok

[@SeeEssPerez]

Good stuff!

[@kidpagronprimsank05]

Lexi literally did the same as Arnold Palmer did in 66; back 9 collapse allowed Yuka to overcome her, and unlike Palmer, Lexi didn't even get another chance in play off

[@wileyfox3436]

Had Thompson not messed up that chip at 11 she would have won. That moment was the beginning of the end. I don't think that jerking finish to her swing is helping her.

[@Adrian-zw6sc]

Anyone notice that Megan Khang had 3 putts narrowly lip out in the 4th rd alone. She was that close to a -5 under victory.. or even if 2 of the 3 fall she's in the aggregate tie-breaker. Too bad nbc wouldn't lather Khang up with some of the hype & attention they gave to the amateur Ganne, who ultimately finished 14th, while Khang placed 4th! And nbc all but ignored Hataoka until the end when their hand was forced🤔

[@ignatiusjk]

Oh Lexi....It kills me she lost. But keep positive and keep playing.

[@reyestioko4817]

Yuka chang GAMBATTE ...

[@terrybandera71]

Na Hataoka ni Yuka. Better luck next time.

[@manuelperales9389]

Lexi driving killed her on the back 9, when u lose accuracy start hitting 3 wood,,,

[@zzzzzsleeping]

The secret is out.... eating Philippine banana !!

[@anagamin6793]

Lexi should have won if she didn’t have a bad caddy ! He confused her a lot during back9.

[@petersgolfacademy4140]

I thought Lexi would win it as she had so many shots ahead. And oh boy, back 9 killed her. What happened? For my eyes, her un-balanced swing finishes and her poor putting stokes cought her neck.

[@Adrian-zw6sc]

I see it as 90% mental.. afterall, her 'un-balanced' tee shots, iron play, and flat stick (best I'd ever seen her putt rds 1-3) got her to -8 thru 63 holes!

I just learned how the LPGA helped an abusive father destroy a little girl's golf dreams. I am speaking of Beverly Klass who still holds the record as the youngest player in a U.S. Open, in 1966, at 10 y.o.. When the LPGA made it illegal for her to play anymore events, they set her up for years of escalated physical abuse at her father's hands. Which successfully made her hate the game she had loved and it directly spoiled her career. To put Klass's skill as a child in perspective, she once won an amateur event by 65 strokes. She was driving the golf ball over 200 yards at 6. She made the cut and actually monied in an LPGA event, $31, at 9. She had been that good! Her lackluster pro career is indicative of the abuses she suffered for resisting practice in the face of her abusers, after that Open. The LPGA and her dad. The LPGA can respond anyway they want, fact of the matter is, they had to be sued to restore Klass's amateur status after the '66 Open. Real nice!
