As a result, Stark is also taking home the largest prize in women's golf. She earned a $2.4 million check.
The USGA offered a $12 million purse this season, which matched the largest purse the tournament has offered and is the biggest in women's golf as a whole. The KPMG Women's PGA Championship was the only tournament last year to surpass the $10 million mark with its $10.4 million purse. Both the Chevron Championship and Evian Championship had $8 million purses, and the AIG Women's Open had a $9.5 million purse.
By comparison, the Memorial Tournament on the PGA Tour this week offered a $20 million purse. That's in line with some of the largest of the season on the men's side.

Stark grabbed her inaugural win on the LPGA Tour in 2022 at the Handa World Invitational, which she won as a non-member. She entered this week with just a single top-10 finish in eight starts on Tour, though she has six wins on the Ladies European Tour. Stark entered the week at No. 33 in the Rolex Rankings.
Stark, who started the day with a one-shot lead, posted an even-par 72 to wrap up the week. That kept her at 7-under, two shots clear of top-ranked Nelly Korda and the rest of the field.
Here's a look at how much Stark and the rest of the field at Erin Hills earned this week.

Giants designate struggling LaMonte Wade Jr. for assignment
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The struggling San Francisco Giants designated infielder-outfielder LaMonte Wade Jr. for assignment Wednesday along with catcher Sam Huff. In addition, San Francisco signed infielder-outfielder Dominic Smith to a one-year major league contract, selected outfielder Daniel Johnson and catcher Andrew Knizner from Triple-A Sacramento while optioning infielder Christian Koss to Sacramento. Manager Bob Melvin said Monday that with Wade's struggle to produce his at-bats would likely go to others. 'It was tough,' Melvin said. 'Look, LaMonte's being realistic too when he said, 'I get it, I haven't performed very well,' and I don't know that at this point in time a little bit of a break and change of scenery won't be good for him. We wish him the best going forward. I'm shocked if he wasn't given another opportunity. But based on what has been going on here recently we felt like we needed to make some moves and we did.' The 31-year-old Wade, who hit a career-high .260 last season and has contributed many timely hits during his four-plus seasons with the Giants, was batting .167 (24 for 144) in 50 games this year. He went 2 for 17 with a double, RBI and three strikeouts during the team's recent nine-game road trip. The Giants entered Wednesday night having gone 16 straight games scoring four or fewer runs — their second longest single-season streak since moving to San Francisco in 1958. They did so in 19 consecutive games in 1965. Buster Posey, San Francisco's first-year president of baseball operations, called it 'a difficult decision' with Wade. 'One of the trickier things for me is there are still guys on the team that I played with. I had a different relationship with them as a player than I do now, but still consider LaMonte a buddy,' Posey said. 'So it wasn't an easy thing to do, but we've got to get some offense going.' ___ AP MLB:

Guardians score 3 in 1st inning to back Ortiz in 4-0 win at Yankee Stadium
NEW YORK (AP) — Angel Martínez hit an early two-run homer, Luis Ortiz earned his first win since April 18 and the Cleveland Guardians beat the New York Yankees 4-0 on Wednesday night. Kyle Manzardo also went deep for the Guardians, who scored three times in the first inning and turned a trio of double plays. Ortiz (3-6) allowed three hits and struck out seven in 5 2/3 innings. Martínez connected in the first on Clarke Schmidt's seventh pitch. Daniel Schneeman added an RBI double later in the inning to help the Guardians win for the third time in their last 11 regular-season trips to the Bronx. José Ramírez doubled in the first, extending his on-base streak to 30 games, and scored on Schneeman's double. Manzardo padded the lead with a solo homer in the eighth. ___ More AP baseball:
