Overview
- Korda closed the 81st U.S. Women's Open with a 2-under 69 to finish 8-under and beat Charley Hull and Gaby Lopez by one stroke.
- She took the lead with a 9-foot birdie on the par-5 17th and then watched a nervy roughly 2.5-foot par putt on 18 circle the lip before dropping to seal the win.
- The victory, claimed on Sunday, is Korda's first U.S. Women's Open title, her fourth major overall and her second straight major after the Chevron Championship in April.
- Korda earned a $2.5 million winner's share from the Open's record $12.5 million purse and added LPGA points that move her closer to Hall of Fame eligibility.
- Riviera Country Club hosted the Open for the first time, and Korda's result underscores a season turnaround that followed a winless 2025 and now positions her as a favorite for the remaining majors.
