Two Korean players have come up short at the oldest major championship in women's golf.
Chun In-gee finished alone in fourth place at the 81st U.S. Women's Open at Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, near Los Angeles, on Sunday (local time), at six-under 278, two behind the champion, Nelly Korda of the United States. Chun shot one-under 70 in the final round with four birdies and three bogeys.
Chun's countrywoman, Kim Sei-young, finished one stroke back of Chun for fifth place. Kim began the final round tied for the lead with Korda, the world No. 1, at six-under but the Korean shot 72 on Sunday with four birdies and five bogeys.
Chun was going for her fourth career major title and Kim was chasing her second.
