Yuka Saso was more than ready to make her move on Sunday afternoon in Pennsylvania.

She’s now won her second U.S. Women’s Open.

Saso, after Minjee Lee fell apart after leading the field early in the day at Lancaster Country Club, flew ahead to win the major championship on Sunday. Saso posted a final-round 4-under 66, which pushed her to 4-under on the week. That gave her a three-shot win over Hinako Shibuno and the rest of the field.

Saso, 22, is now the youngest two-time winner in U.S. Women’s Open history, and she’s just the third player in LPGA Tour history to grab her first two career wins at major championships.
