    Minjee Lee needed a final-round 64 and then a playoff to win her first major championship last year at the Amundi Evian Championship. Winning her second major was much easier. Following rounds of 67-66-67, Lee cruised to four-shot victory at the U.S. Women’s Open at Pine Needles Resort with a final-round 71 and a Women's Open record 13-under 271 total.

    Lee essentially locked up the title early, starting with a fine shot into the par-5 first hole with her Srixon ZX 4-hybrid that led to a two-putt birdie. She followed with a 30-plus footer for birdie with her Scotty Cameron by Titleist Timeless blade putter at the second hole to open up a lead that was never threatened.

    Currently ranked fourth on the Rolex Rankings, Lee is delivering on the promise she showed when she was the No. 1-ranked amateur in 2014. The U.S. Women's Open win was the 26-year-old's eighth LPGA victory and second in the last few weeks having won the Founders Cup last month.

    Still, the victory is a bit of a surprise for the Australian given her track record at the USGA's marquee women's championship, where Lee had not recorded a top-10 finish in eight previous starts.

    WHAT IT DOES: The ZX7 is a single-piece clubhead made from 1020 carbon steel with tungsten weights in the 3- through 7-irons to mitigate a loss of ball speed on mis-hits. Srixon engineers shifted weight to the perimeter and behind the sweet spot to improve forgiveness and to enhance the feeling that comes from a well-struck shot with a forged club. The sole has a higher bounce angle toward the leading edge that tapers on the trailing edge for better turf interaction.
