CHULA VISTA, Calif. (AP) — Becky Morgan of Wales ran away with the U.S. Senior Women’s Open on Sunday, closing with a 3-under 70 for a six-stroke victory over Juli Inkster.

Morgan finished at 7-under 285 at San Diego Country Club. The former LPGA and Ladies European Tour winner made her first start in the event after turning 50 in September.

“I just stayed really calm all day, holed some really good putts, and can’t quite believe it, to be honest,” said Morgan, a two-time Curtis Cup player. “I would not have dreamt this. Since I started playing on the sort of senior tour, I’ve had some decent success, but obviously nothing like this. It’s absolutely unbelievable.”

She earned a spot in the 2026 U.S. Women’s Open at Riviera.

The 65-year-old Inkster shot a 71.

“I made a couple boo-boos. Just sloppy sometimes,” Inkster said. “I’m really happy with my finish. It wasn’t easy out there, but I hung in there.”

Liselotte Neumann was third at even par after a 74.

Maria McBride and Corina Kelepouris, tied with Morgan for the third-round lead, each shot 78 to tie for fourth at 1 over with 2024 winnerLeta Lindley (73).

First-round leader Annika Sorenstam tied for eighth at 3 over after a 72.
