Moments

2026 U.S. Women's Open Korda never held the outright lead until she holed a 9-foot birdie putt on the par-5 17th, then holed a nervy 3-foot (2 ft 10 in) par putt on No. 18 that hit the left lip before dropping to win by one.
2026 U.S. Women's Open 2015 champion In Gee Chun reached 9 under with birdies at 10 and 11, then made back-to-back bogeys at 12 and 13 and a bogey at 18 to finish solo fourth.
