We’ll have to wait one more day to crown the final major champion of 2020. The final round of the U.S. Women’s Open was suspended on Sunday after heavy rain hit Champions Golf Club in Houston, Texas, and the event will now finish on Monday.
Eighteen players never started their final rounds, including the final threesome of Hinako Shibuno, Amy Olson and Moriya Jutanugarn, which tees off at 9:25 a.m. ET. Shibuno is the 54-hole leader at four under, Olson is three under and Jutanugarn is one under. Ji Yeong Kim2, teeing off at 9:14 a.m., is also at one under.
The final round airs from 9 a.m to 3 p.m. ET on Golf Channel. We’re also tracking all of the action here, so follow along to see who comes out on top.

(All times ET; refresh for updates)
9:14 a.m.: Shibuno and Jutanugarn both find the par-4 3rd in regulation but Olson missed the fairway and had to punch out. So she’ll have a long bogey putt coming. In the group ahead, Ko found the bunker on the par-3 4th.
9:04 a.m.: Shibuno mades bogey, but she’s still leading by one since Amy Olson three-putted for bogey. Shibuno now leading at three under, Olson two under and Jutanugarn, who two-putted for par on 2, at one under. A large group of players are still in the mix at even par. Among them is Lydia Ko.
9:53 a.m.: Uh oh. Shibuno misses the fairway right on the par-4 2nd hole, then hits a tree trying to punch out. Not sure if she has a clear angle to the green with her third here. … Pretty good shot from Shibuno from about 140, having to hook it around some trouble, and it runs just off the green and she’ll have about a 20 footer. But her playing partners both reached in regulation and Jutanugarn has a good look at birdie.
9:44 a.m.: And… we’re off! The final group has teed off in chilly Houston. Temps are in the mid-40s today. Lots of winter coats out there. All pars for the first group. Get your stocking hats on.
U.S. Women’s Open contender Amy Olson suffers tragic loss before final round
Amy Olson is in the final grouping and in contention to win the first major of her career when the U.S. Women’s Open resumes on Monday at Champions Golf Club in Houston, Texas. The 28-year-old will also be playing with a heavy heart. Her father-in-law, Lee Olson, died unexpectedly on Saturday night. Golfweek first reported the news, which was confirmed by the LPGA on Olson’s behalf.
According to Golfweek, Olson’s husband, Grant Olson, flew into Houston over the weekend with his wife in contention to claim her first LPGA victory, but he since went back home to be with his family. Grant and Amy Olson both attended North Dakota State University in Fargo, N.D. Grant works as the linebackers coach for the Bison football team.
Amy Olson was one of 18 players who never teed off for their final round on Sunday due to inclement weather. She’s in the final group along with 54-hole leader Hinako Shibuno and Moriya Jutanugarn and will tee off at 9:25 a.m. ET on Monday. Shibuno sits at four under, with Olson one back at three under and Jutanugarn and Ji Yeong Kim2 at one under.
Amy Olson’s best finish in a major was a T2 at the 2018 Evian Championship. The final round of the U.S. Women’s Open airs at 9 a.m. ET on Golf Channel on Monday.
