| 2024 Championship |
Rianne Malixi, 17, of the Philippines, became just the second player in USGA history to win the U.S. Women's Amateur and U.S. Girls' Junior titles in the same season with a 3-and-2 victory over 15-year-old Asterisk Talley, of Chowchilla, Calif., at Southern Hills Country Club, in Tulsa, Okla. It was a rematch of their U.S. Girls' Junior final in July when Malixi posted an 8-and-7 victory. Malixi joined Eun Jeong Seong as the only players to win both of these titles in a calendar year, and she became the fourth female to claim multiple USGA titles in the same year. Talley was playing in her unprecedented third USGA final of 2024, having won the U.S. Women's Amateur Four-Ball with partner Sarah Lim in May. To read more, click here. |

““Honestly I just wanted to play good golf. That's it. I wasn't expecting to win the Australian Master of Amateurs in January and then win U.S. Girls’ last month and then this one. I was so surprised. Even though I was playing good golf, I was just not expecting it.” -- Rianne Malixi |
