Nelly Korda eagled the 17th and birded the 18th holes to get into a playoff with Lydia Ko, where she won on the second playoff hole to deny Ko entry to the LPGA Hall of Fame (Ko is one victory away from qualifying for the Hall). Korda and Ko finished at 11-under par, three shots clear of third place. The win is Korda’s ninth career win on the LPGA tour.
