Going into the final day, all of the top four players on the leaderboard of the LGPA Evian-les-Bains golf tournament were Korean. Kim Hyo-joo led, followed one shot behind by Park Sung-hyun. A further three shots behind were Park Inbee and Ko Jin-young.

On the final day, today, things started to go wrong for Kim Hyo-joo, including a triple bogey on the 14th hole, allowing Ko to take the lead for her second major of the year. Kim ended in joint second place, two shots behind, sharing the position with Jennifer Kupcho (US) and Shanshan Feng (China). Ko is now #1 in the Rolex rankings.
