What happened at the 2026 U.S. Women's Open presented by Ally

Nelly Korda chipped her third shot to nine feet at the par-5 17th and holed the birdie putt to break a four-way tie for the lead.

Needing par at the 18th, Korda lagged from about 35 feet to three feet and her winning putt caught the lip before dropping.
