Korda putted to tap-in range and finished out, while Green's putt to extend the tournament to a playoff never touched the hole. Korda then raised her hands and accepted the cheers from the crowd in this event held with a view of the New York City skyline and Statue of Liberty in the background.Playing hours before the leaders teed off, Wannasaen had the best round of the day with a 7-under 65.
