**Swedish Stars Shine at U.S. Women’s Open: Stark in Contention at Erin Hills**

Erin Hills, Wisconsin – A strong contingent of Swedish golfers are making their presence felt at the U.S. Women’s Open, with Maja Stark leading the charge. After a stellar second round of 69 (-3), Stark sits in a tie for second place, just three strokes behind leader Mao Saigo of Japan.

Stark’s impressive round included six birdies and solid iron play. “The iron play was good and I hit a few shots really close,” Stark said. “I think I also made a few more putts from around five meters than I usually do, which was nice.” She shares second place with five other players, including world number one Nelly Korda.

Fellow Swede Linn Grant is also in a strong position, carding a 69 (-3) to move into a tie for eighth place. Despite a double bogey, Grant’s seven birdies highlighted her aggressive play. “I finished well and it feels like I have good game in me. But the greens are so fast, which I’m not really used to,” Grant commented. She anticipates a more strategic approach over the weekend, saying, “I’m going to play with a lot of patience and realize that I won’t birdie every time I hit a good shot. Par is good, and bogeys can also be okay.”

Madelene Sagström joined Stark and Grant in shooting a 69, moving her into a tie for twelfth. Ingrid Lindblad is in a shared 37th place, and Anna Nordqvist is in a shared 44th place after a second round 69 (-3), making the cut.

Linnea Ström’s hopes hang in the balance as play was suspended due to inclement weather late on Friday. She has two holes remaining and will likely need to play one under par to advance.

With challenging conditions expected over the weekend, the Swedish players are well-positioned to contend for the U.S. Women’s Open title.
