Ko finished one shot back, with her third placing her best finish in a major in her last six attempts, and marking her eighth finish of third-or-better in a major championship. Nordqvist's win makes it nine consecutive different major winners since Ko went back-to-back, pinpointing the increased competition level in women's golf. Despite the ending, Ko's performance makes it two consecutive strong weeks, following her second place in Indianapolis the week prior.
