2026 US Women's Open — Final Round Highlights ⚡
☀️ Early Charge: Charley Hull's Eagle Start
England's Charley Hull — who barely made the cut at +3 through 36 holes — launched an extraordinary final-round charge, eagling the par-5 1st hole to briefly seize the solo lead. Having already fired a tournament-low 65 (−6) in Round 3, Hull posted 67 (−4) on Sunday, completing a stunning back-half comeback of 10-under over the final two rounds.
🔥 Congested Leaderboard: Five Players in Contention
With four holes to play, five players were separated by a single shot — Korda, Hull, Gaby Lopez, In Gee Chun and Sei Young Kim all trading the lead throughout the back nine. Hull's 3-putt bogey at the 14th briefly reshuffled the pack, opening the door for Lopez, who birdied three of her first four back-nine holes before a bogey at 16, then drained a dramatic 15-foot birdie on 18 to join the clubhouse target at −7.
🎯 Korda's Match-Winning Moment: 17th Hole Birdie
Tied at −7 with three players in the clubhouse, Nelly Korda calmly rolled in a 9-foot birdie putt on the par-5 17th to move to −8 and take a one-shot lead into the final hole. Nine consecutive pars before that putt underlined her ice-cold composure under pressure.
😱 The Last Putt: A Lip-In for the Ages
On the par-4 18th, Korda drove 288 yards uphill, then hit her approach from 149 yards to 35 feet. Her lag putt left just 2 feet 10 inches — but the final par putt tracked left of the cup, circled the lip, and dropped in. Korda covered her mouth in disbelief: "OH, MY GOSH!" The crowd erupted. Final score: 69 (−2) for a total of −8, 276.
📌 Other Notable Moments
- Xiyu Janet Lin recorded a hole-in-one in Round 2 — the 35th in US Women's Open history
- Amateur Kiara Romero (USA) finished T6 at −3, the best amateur result of the week
- Sei Young Kim co-led after 54 holes alongside Korda but carded +1 (72) in the final round to finish 5th
- In Gee Chun held a share of the lead late in the final round before fading to 4th at −6 (70)
- Korda opened with a +2 (73) in Round 1 — changed her shoes mid-round after a bunker shank on 13
