Defending champion Hollis Stacy won the second of her three U.S. Women's Open titles, one stroke ahead of runners-up JoAnne Carner and Sally Little.[3][4] She sank a five-foot (1.5 m) putt for par on the 72nd green to secure the win,[5] the second of her four major titles.
Rookie sensation Nancy Lopez was a co-leader after two rounds,[2][6] but a 79 on Saturday took her out of contention,[7] and she tied for ninth.[3][4]
