The 2012 U.S Women’s Open is over. As many expected, Na Yeon Choi claimed the third major of the season with an overall score of seven-under-par 73.

Choi started her round with a bogey, but she managed to birdie the par-four fourth to stay even for the day. The real trouble came on 10 where she had a triple bogey, her first of the week.

This put her five-under and just two strokes better than her fellow countrywoman Amy Yang, who by that time had scored one bogey and two birdies.

However, Na Yeon added red numbers at 11, 15 and 16 to get back to even par and eight-under for the tournament. Yang couldn't catch Choi and finished runner-up at three-under.

She finished with a bogey on 18 to seal the deal and hoist her first major championship trophy.

After her victory, Choi acknowledged, “I did a really good job today. I had really good patience, and I was very calm. So I think I'm very happy and very satisfied now.”

Choi was very overwhelmed after her round, "I can't believe this. But maybe tomorrow I can feel it, after—when I get to Korea,” she confessed.

The best American on the leaderboard was Paula Creamer who struggled on the back nine and posted a 74, her highest score of the week, finishing three-over and tied for seventh.
