Yuka Saso of the Philippines won the U.S. Women’s Open Sunday on the third playoff hole against Japan’s Nasa Hataoka at the Lake Course at the Olympic Club in San Francisco.

The 19-year-old, who is turning 20 in two weeks, became just the second teenager to win the tournament. It’s her first major victory, and she’s the first golfer from the Philippines to win a major.
