  "account": "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.",
