Kathy Whitworth had her best chance to win the U.S. Women's Open, the only major championship to elude her.

She co-led after 18 and 36 holes,[5] and led by a stroke over Bonnie Lauer after the third round.

With that, she became the first to exceed one million dollars in career earnings on the LPGA Tour.
