Summary
Nelly Korda captured the 81st U.S. Women's Open at Riviera Country Club, closing with a 2-under 69 to finish 8-under 269.
A 9-foot birdie on the par-4 17th gave Korda the decisive one-shot edge over Charley Hull and Gaby Lopez before she survived a nervy finish on 18.
The victory delivered Korda the Harton S. Semple Trophy and a $2.5 million winner's share from the tournament's $12.5 million purse.
It was Korda's fourth career major, second straight major after April's Chevron Championship, and her fourth LPGA title of the 2026 season after going winless in 2025.
