Day four report

Sung Hyun Park made her first LPGA Tour title a major as she won the US Women's Open at Trump National.

The 23-year-old Korean shot a closing five-under-par 67 to finish on 11 under in Bedminster, New Jersey.

That was two ahead of compatriot Hye Jin Choi (71), who missed out on becoming the first amateur major champion for 50 years after finding water at the 16th.

Two more Koreans, Mi Jung Hur (68) and So Yeon Ryu (70), finished tied for third on seven under, with China's Shanshan Feng (75) - who led after each of the first three rounds - finishing in a tie for fifth after running up a triple-bogey eight on the final hole.

Park, Choi and Feng did battle throughout the final round, but it was Park who held her nerve over the closing holes.

Feng looked to be in control when she birdied the 10th from close range and Choi missed an eight footer for par.

However, Park tied for the lead with a 20-foot gain on the 15th.

The 17-year-old Choi got up-and-down at the 15th to retain a share of the lead but saw her hopes sink when her tee shot to the 16th found water and she ran up a double-bogey five.

Park went two clear with a birdie from six feet at the 17th and got up-and-down for par at the last.

That left Feng needing an eagle at the last to force a play-off, but her triple bogey sent her tumbling down the leaderboard.

"I did not have the best first and second rounds," Park told the LPGA website through a translator.

"I wanted to believe in myself again for the final two rounds and I did."

Englands Charley Hull finished tied for 21st after a closing 73.

Day three report

Shanshan Feng made her first birdie of the day on the 18th hole and with it retained the lead after three rounds of the US Women's Open in New Jersey.

Feng, who held a two shot halfway lead, parred the first 17 holes at Trump National in Bedminster.

The 27-year-old from China then picked up a shot at the par-five closing hole to post a one under par 71 and reach nine under for the week.

She had earlier been caught by Korean pair Amy Yang (70) and Hye Jin Choi (70) - with the latter in contention to become the first amateur to land a major for 50 years.

The 17-year-old Choi bogeyed the first but fought back with gains at the eighth, 11th and 16th.

Yang's start was even worse - after birdieing the first she bogeyed the second and ran up a six on the par-four third - but then produced four further unanswered birdies.

Another Korean, Sung Hyun Park, shot a five-under 67 to move into fourth on six under for the week, but England's Charley Hull dropped to 18th and is eight shots off the pace following a one-over 73.

"I guess finally on the 18th I hit it close enough (to make a birdie) and give the fans some excitement," Feng told the LPGA website.

"Coming to this week, I didn't have any expectation at all. I just wanted to bring out my A game.

"I think I did really well for the first three days, and then I'm going to stick to my game plan tomorrow. I just focus on my own game and let's see what happens."

Day two report

China's Shanshan Feng extended her lead with a second-round 70 at the US Women's Open in New Jersey.

The 27-year-old, who previously enjoyed major success at the 2012 Women's PGA Championship, held a one-shot lead after a weather-affected opening day.

Birdies at the sixth, 11th and 12th, alongside a solitary bogey on the 10th, saw Feng reach eight under par at Trump National in Bedminster.

That put the Olympic bronze medal winner two clear of Korean trio Hye Jin Choi (69), Jeongeun Lee (69) and Amy Yang (71).

"I played probably the first nine holes in the rain, but my phone told me it was going to rain all afternoon and I was prepared," Feng told the LPGA website.

"I really didn't pay attention to the weather and just concentrated on every shot."

Of the three players in second, the performance of amateur Choi was the most noteworthy - with Catherine Lacoste's triumph in this event 50 years ago the last time a major was won by a player yet to turn professional.

England's Charley Hull mixed five birdies with three bogeys in a round of 70 that propelled her into a share of 14th on two under.

The 21-year-old from Kettering is six shots adrift of Feng going into the weekend.

Day one report

Shanshan Feng leads the US Women's Open after the first day at Trump National Golf Club in New Jersey.

The Chinese world number six carded a bogey-free 66, which included five birdies on the back nine, to finish six under par in Bedminster.

Bad weather then forced a lengthy delay, with some players still to finish their opening round when darkness forced an end to proceedings shortly after 8.30pm local time.

Feng is a shot ahead of Amy Yang, who is five under, with world number one So Yeon Ryu a shot behind in third along with Lydia Ko. 

Starting on the back nine, Feng reeled off a hat-trick of gains from the 11th and picked up further gains on the 17th and 18th to turn in 31.

A birdie on the par-five first proved to be her last of the day, but none of those with holes remaining look likely to catch the 27-year-old.

Spain's Carlota Ciganda is best placed of those yet to sign their cards on four under, but has only one hole remaining. 

England's Charley Hull recorded a level-par round of 72 which left her tied in 47th place, a shot behind compatriot Jodi Ewart Shadoff.
