Jun 01, 2024 at 06:30 PM ETLANCASTER, Pa. — One shot put two-time major champion Minjee Lee right in the mix Saturday in the U.S. Women's Open, and she surged her way to a 4-under 66 that gave her a share of the lead with Stanford alum Andrea Lee and Wichanee Meechai.
Her 66 matched the low score of the tournament. Former Women's British Open champion Hinako Shibuno had seven birdies Saturday for a 66 that left her only two shots behind. She would know what to expect having won her second major at the U.S. Women's Open two years ago at Pine Needles when she won by four shots.Meechai — she goes by “Jan” when playing in America — is the most unlikely contender. Her only victory in a tournament recognized by the women's world ranking was on the Taiwan LPGA nine years ago. She is No. 158 in the world ranking.
But she dropped two shots on the back nine, only to deliver a beauty with an 8-iron on the 15th, just enough right-to-left movement on her shot that it rode the slope of the green to 3 feet that put her in the lead. Three of the contenders under par are former major champions. Andrea Lee was a decorated amateur who has one LPGA victory. Meechai might be the most honest about her chances.
