Nelly Korda's decisive downfall at last week's LPGA Tour Fortinet Founders Cup, where she lost to Kim Hyo-joo by one stroke, was a short putt miss on the 17th hole (par 3). Trailing by one shot, Korda let the birdie putt slip from less than one meter, severing her pursuit. At this week's Ford Championship, it was again short putt misses that broke Korda's charging momentum after she had closed the gap to just one stroke.

The final round was held on Wednesday (Korea time) at the Cattail Course (par 72) of Whirlwind Golf Club in Phoenix, Arizona.
