Maja Stark eyes moving from studio after $2.4M U.S. Women's Open win
1 of 5 | Sweden's Maja Stark poses with the USGA Women's Open trophy after winning the the 2025 U.S. Women's Open on Sunday at Erin Hills in Hartford, Wis. Photo by Tannen Maury/UPI | License Photo June 2 (UPI) -- Swedish golfer Maja Stark had one thing on her mind for spending some of the $2.4 million prize money she earned winning the 2025 U.S. Women's Open: moving out of her studio apartment. "I didn't even know that," Stark told reporters, when informed of her prize money and asked what she's do with it Sunday in Hartford, Wis. "Maybe move out of my studio apartment. That could be one thing. I don't know. "I'm very happy with what I have in my life right now. Having the security for the future, I think I'll just be very happy about that." Stark entered the tournament with $130,725 in prize money earned through her first eight tournaments this season. The 25-year-old fired an even-par 72 over her final round at Erin Hills Golf Course to cement her first major crown and claim the Harton S. Semple Trophy. "Before this week, I was worried that I wasn't really going to play decent golf for a while because it felt like it was so far away," Stark said. "This just feels huge. I'm so happy." Stark made her LPGA debut in 2021. She entered the 2025 U.S. Women's Open with just one win on the LPGA Tour, which came at the 2022 ISPS Handa World Invitational. With her first major title, Stark increased her career prize money total to $5.2 million. She earned $1.5 million last season. Stark carded three birdies and three bogies over her final 18 holes of the U.S. Women's Open. She was 5-under par through the first two rounds. Stark carded a 2-under 70 in Saturday's third round. American Nelly Korda and Japan's Rio Takeda tied for second at 5-under for the tournament. Japan's Mao Saigo, China's Ruoing Yin and Korea's Hye-Jin Choi tied for fourth at 4-under. The LPGA season will continue with the ShopRite LPGA Classic, which will be held from Friday to Sunday in Galloway, N.J. The KPMG Women's PGA Championship -- the next major on the calendar -- will be held June 19 to 22 in Frisco, Texas.

Oregon's Kiara Romero makes history at U.S. Women's Open on Sunday
Oregon's Kiara Romero makes history at U.S. Women's Open on Sunday Oregon Ducks superstar Kiara Romero is no stranger to historic feats in her young career, and she added another one to the list on Sunday in the final round of the U.S. Women's Open at Erin Hills. With a five-under round of 67, Romero officially shot the lowest single-round score by any amateur in U.S. Open history. Romero finished in a tie for 45th place in the tournament, due in large part to her tough Saturday round of 84, 12-over par. Romero made the cut after shooting 1-over (72,73) in the first two rounds but then struggled on moving day. However, she stormed back on Sunday, shooting five-under on her final 15 holes of the day. Romero, who had Oregon head coach Derek Radley on the bag as her caddie, finished in fourth place among all amateurs in the field. The 2025 Big Ten Women's Golfer of the Year, Romero led the Ducks to the Big Ten Championship and a second straight trip to the national semifinals at the NCAA Championships.

Cox/Getty Images) Are we living through a golden age of baseball? In his latest column, longtime Washington Post scribe Thomas Boswell makes the case that MLB's on-field product is as good as it has ever been. Advertisement Here's Boz: This year I've watched plenty of MLB games and enjoyed them — a lot. I find baseball just as well-paced, dramatic and aesthetically pleasing as the sport I first fell for long ago. This has surprised, pleased and confused me. I'm one of those who, for years, has complained about two problems. First, games were too slow. Second, I agreed that the analytics era focus on "three true outcomes" — homers, walks and strikeouts, none of which involve defensive plays — subtracted athletic action. So why was I enjoying the game so much? The answer: Thanks to the pitch clock, games aren't too slow anymore. And aside from the steady rise in strikeouts, the "three true outcomes" aren't all bad trends. In fact, statistics suggest today's brand of baseball is remarkably similar to the brand that was played during MLB's boom years from 1975-1994, a 20-year stretch that saw the league's popularity skyrocket and showed "what the sport looks like when it's healthy," writes Boswell. Advertisement 1975-94: The average team scored 700 runs per 162 games, with 121 steals, 529 walks and an OPS of .713. The average game time was 2:43. 2024-25: The average team scores 709 runs per 162 games, with 122 steals, 506 walks and an OPS of .711. The average game time is 2:39. The last word: "If we could love only perfect things, our days would be bleak. Baseball, as we find it today, is an opportunity to appreciate an imperfect thing and allow it to make us feel happy," writes Boswell. "MLB has warts. But I've never been happier to have an exciting crisp version of the old game for summer company." Full column: Is baseball actually troubled, or is it as good as it has ever been? ⚽️ PSG finally conquer Europe (Maja Hitij/UEFA via Getty Images) PSG stormed past Inter Milan, 5-0, on Saturday night in Munich to win the club's first Champions League title after years of falling disappointingly short. Advertisement From Yahoo Sports' Henry Bushnell: For a little over a decade, PSG was a controversial project and a collection of names. It was Zlatan Ibrahimovic and David Beckham, then Neymar, Kylian Mbappé and Lionel Messi. It was a club transformed by money and defined by unflinching ambition. It was many things, but never the one thing it desperately wanted to be — until Saturday, when PSG, in its very first year without a megastar, became the European champion. PSG manager Luis Enrique is hoisted into the air by his players. () Behind the scenes: To be clear, this was not some low-budget rebuild or underdog story. PSG spent $800 million over the last two years, more than any other club. The difference: Instead of splurging on all-world players, they invested in talented but not-yet-heralded youngsters who, sans ego, would heed the demands of manager Luis Enrique. Advertisement Enrique took charge in the summer of 2023 and set out to build a team-first culture at a club where stars had been "treated like gods," he explained. He wasn't afraid to lecture Mbappé (as seen here), and ultimately, wasn't afraid to lose him. "I would like him to stay. He's the cornerstone of the team," Enrique said last year around the time Mbappé exited for Real Madrid. "But the moment he leaves, the team becomes the cornerstone. I think we can be even better next season." Completing the treble: PSG are the ninth club to win domestic league, domestic cup and European Cup titles in the same season, joining Celtic (1966-67), Ajax (1971-72), PSV Eindhoven (1987-88), Manchester United (1998-99), Barcelona (2008-09; 2014-15), Inter Milan (2009-10), Bayern Munich (2012-13; 2019-20) and Manchester City (2022-23). 📺 Watchlist: Monday, June 2 The Red Raiders are in the WCWS semifinals for the first time.
