The U.S. Women's Open matched its record $12 million purse this week in Wisconsin. () Maja Stark has officially claimed her first major championship.

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.

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.
