Sweden’s Maja Stark has won the 80th U.S. Women’s Open at Erin Hills in Wisconsin, marking her first major championship victory. Stark is the first Swedish golfer to claim the U.S. Women’s Open title since Annika Sörenstam’s win in 2006.

Stark credited her mental approach and recent swing adjustments for her success, noting the support of her caddy, Jeff, was instrumental during the tournament. She described focusing on her tasks and maintaining composure, while her caddy’s humor helped her stay relaxed under pressure.

Maja Stark claims first major title with U.S. Women’s Open victory

How did you mentally approach Sunday? What do you think was ultimately the difference for you on Sunday? I think that you can't really rely on your confidence because that fluctuates so much. So I think that I just tried to think about what is my task now? What am I supposed to do on this shot? What are my swing thoughts? And, you know, I never really let my confidence get in the way of just doing what I'm supposed to do. I also read that your caddy, Jeff, who is an accomplished caddy, of course, and also a former comedian, I was reading, was telling you jokes at certain points to help keep you loose. Is that right? And do you remember any particular moments where you really felt like he was helping to keep you calm or keep your mind off of things? Yeah, I mean, he is really funny. We'll have these stories that go on for four holes sometimes just to, I don't know, get me out of what I'm thinking and feeling. But, I mean, I think that he just acted like he always does and he did that throughout the whole round. And it was great for me because I couldn't really tell where I was at because he was just the same Jeff the whole way through. And that's exactly what I needed right then and there. How valuable is he for you as that kind of partner, that kind of counter, particularly when things are really challenging mentally for you? I feel like this is the first time that we've had a big challenge like that. I mean, it's just our fourth week together, I think. So it's very new. And I'm so happy that he was on my bag. And he, yeah, he was a huge part of this. And I also was reading a little bit, Maya, that you actually made some adjustments to your swing that might've proven to be the difference as recently as the practice rounds coming into the tournament. Walk us through some of the dynamics that might've changed with your swing that maybe ultimately proved to be the difference as well. Yeah, so I've been struggling with my iron shots all year, really. So I just, I was on the range with my coach and we were trying some different things, but I just felt like I was just very tense in my body and my tempo was off. And then it's really hard to hit good shots when your tempo is off. So I just thought, okay, I'm gonna take all these swing advice that my coach has given me and just put it aside for a little bit just so I can try something myself and try to get the tension out. So in my putting, I usually lift my putter up before I hit it just to get rid of the tension. And then I thought maybe I can do that on my other clubs as well. So that's what I started doing. And then big thing that my coach told me was that sometimes I get a little bit too curious and I focus too much on the target and my shoulders become open, more and more open. So he just said, put your head down, just make sure that you're aligned and then you can swing it and then you don't have to think about anything.
