Why men should pay attention to Asterisk Talley's winning U.S. Women's Am clubs

California teenager Asterisk Talley claimed victory in the U.S. Women’s Amateur on Sunday, defeating Japan’s Anna Iwanaga by a score of 8-and-6. The 17-year-old made history by earning her second USGA title before turning 18. Talley secured her win with a birdie on the 11th hole and another on the 12th, never facing a setback again.

Iwanaga had held a 1-up lead at the ninth hole in the morning, but Talley managed to turn the tide by birding the following two holes. Talley was previously runner-up at the Augusta National Women’s Amateur in 2025 and showed strong form heading into the U.S. Women’s Open at Inverness Club in Ohio.
