Korda's putter went cold down the stretch at Erin Hills, as it has at times throughout this season, and a closing bogey on the par-5 18th basically ended her chances. She closed with a 1-under 71 to finish at 5 under for the tournament, two strokes shy of Stark.

One shot never makes or breaks a four-round tournament, and Nelly Korda’s missed 4-footer for par on the 13 th hole did not lose her the 80 th playing of the U.S. Women’s Open at Erin Hills on June 1.
