Brittany Lang won the US Women's Open in a three-hole playoff over Anna Nordqvist, whose challenge was doomed by a two-stroke penalty at the second playoff hole. Nordqvist was penalized for grounding her club in a fairway bunker, with video showing her club lightly touching the sand before she hit out. Nordqvist, who had stormed to the top of the leaderboard with a final-round 67 that included three birdies and an eagle, didn't learn of the penalty until after her third shot at the final playoff hole.
