LANCASTER, Pa. — Yuka Saso has now won $3.4 million in her two U.S. Women’s Open victories. In three years, the winner’s share has more than doubled from $1 million to $2.4 million.
Once again, the second-place finisher at the USWO took home one of the biggest paychecks in the women’s game as Hinako Shibuno earned $1,296,000 for her work at Lancaster Country Club.
Thai veteran Wichanee Meechai, 31, took home the biggest paycheck of her career for her share of sixth.
It’s also worth nothing that every player in the field who missed the cut this week took home $10,000.
