Jeongeun Lee6 is the 2019 U.S. Women's Open champion, becoming the first woman to take home $1 million in the tournament's history.

Lee6 survived bogeys on two of her final three holes to shoot one under par for the day and complete the event at six under. Sunday marked her first win on the American LPGA circuit, and the rookie became the 11th different winner in the last 11 U.S. Women's Open tournaments.
