#5 Lilia Vu

Vu finished with a total score of 162, including rounds of 80 and 82. Vu finished third-last in this tournament, just ahead of Dana Williams and Lauren Nguyen.
#4 Brooke Henderson

Henderson finished the competition six strokes over par after two rounds, scoring 75. Despite a strong start earlier this year, when she ended three events outside of the top 15, the two-time major winner is still having a difficult season.
#3 Jeeno Thitikul

Jeeno Thitikul, currently ranked second in the world, was unable to put her game together in the US Women’s Open. She improved her putting significantly, but her tee shots were somewhat off, resulting in a missed cut.
Thitikul finished three strokes over par, with rounds of 75 and 73, for a total score of 147.
#2 Yuka Saso

Yuka Saso faced a lot of pressure as she entered the 2025 US Women's Open. She was not only the defending champion this year, but she had also won the tournament twice in her career. But Saso was unable to perform to her full potential this year and missed the cut.
She got off to a shaky start in her competition, shooting two strokes over par. While she restored some of her form in the second round with an even par, it was not enough for her to play on the weekend.
#1 Lexi Thompson

Lexi Thompson has long been regarded as one of the top golfers. After years of performing, she announced her semi-retirement last year. She only competes in big tournaments, and the US Women's Open was on that list.
Unfortunately, some rust on her game prompted her to miss the cut at the US Women’s Open. Thompson finished the tournament three strokes over par, with rounds of 73 and 74.
