Liselotte Neumann won her only major title, three strokes ahead of runner-up Patty Sheehan. From Sweden, she was only the fifth international player to win the U.S. Women's Open. For the first time, the championship was won by non-Americans in consecutive years, as Laura Davies of England won in 1987. At age 22, Neumann was the youngest professional to date to win the title, second by two months to 1967 champion Catherine Lacoste, an amateur who won less than a week after turning 22.https://www.si.com/vault/1988/08/01/118111/how-swede-it-is-liselotte-neumann-of-sweden-won-her-first-us-womens-open Sports Illustrated Diaz Jaime How Swede it is!
