- Korda moves back to No. 1 in the Rolex rankings and continues a scorching season with two wins and three runner-up finishes in five starts.
- Her 36-hole total of 130 set an LPGA major record, she matched the event’s 54-hole mark, and she ended one stroke shy of Dottie Pepper’s 72-hole record.
- Ruoning Yin and Patty Tavatanakit tied for second at 13 under after brief surges trimmed the lead to four before Korda pulled away again.
- This was the Chevron’s first year at Memorial Park, where organizers kept the winner’s pond-jump tradition with a man-made pool that Korda leapt into after the win.
