Stark's triumph in the Women's US Open was the first by a European in the female game's most prestigious tournament since Annika Sorenstam won it for the third time in 2006.

Stark's short-range putting withstood intense pressure to add to her six Ladies European Tour wins and join fellow Swedes Sorenstam and Liselotte Neumann as a US Open winner.

Stark, the first Swedish winner since Annika Sorenstam won her third title in 2006, held off the challenge of world number one Nelly Korda of the United States and Japan's Rio Taneka at Erin Hills in Wisconsin.

In previous eras, stars such as Annika Sorenstam and Michelle Wie would sit alongside tennis greats such as the Williams sisters and Maria Sharapova at the very top of the women's sporting tree.

Korda was the first to win five in a row since Annika Sorenstam in 2004/5.
