Yuka Saso is in the field at this week’s US Women’s Open thanks to her position in the top 75 of the Rolex rankings. She is currently 40. Also from the Philippines, she is 19 years old and a two-time Japan LPGA Tour winner.
Saso’s performance – 69-67 – raised her eyebrows, but it was a direct comparison of her swing with that by Rory McIlroy who blew people away.
Saso said she watched YouTube videos to study Rory’s swing and is still doing it. When asked on Friday what she liked about the McIlroy Method, she replied, « Everything. I like everything, yes. »
This is Saso’s third appearance at the US Women’s Open. She missed the cut in 2019 and finished 13th in the Champions Golf Club in December.
