CaddyBytes ⛳ 2026 KPMG Women's PGA Championship Final Round Recap: Hae Ran Ryu is the 2026 KPMG Women's PGA Champion after closing out a major-championship comeback at Hazeltine National Golf Club. Ryu finished at 13-under after rounds of 73-64-68-70, holding off Ina Yoon, Brooke Henderson, Dewi Weber, Nelly Korda, and the rest of a crowded final-round chase.
The final round started late after a heavy morning storm dumped more than an inch of rain on Hazeltine in less than three hours, delaying tee times by about 3.5 hours. By the time the leaders got moving, the course had shifted into a calmer but still exposed afternoon setup, with gusts around Lake Hazeltine and softened greens creating both birdie chances and major-pressure mistakes.
The highlight package showed the early leaderboard getting crowded fast. Esther Henseleit chipped in at the second and later added another chip-in at the ninth, while Lydia Ko made eagle at the seventh after a slow start to the week. Nelly Korda also made a push with birdies at the seventh, eighth, and 10th, briefly moving close enough to make her name a real part of the Sunday pressure.
Ina Yoon came out aggressively after losing the 54-hole lead on Saturday. She opened birdie-birdie, moved back in front early, and had the putter working again after the difficult third round. But the final round never settled into a runaway. Brooke Henderson answered with clutch birdies to stay within touching distance, and Dewi Weber made one of the biggest moves of the day, including an eagle at the seventh and a long birdie at the 13th to reach 10-under.
Ryu's response was the difference. After starting the week with a 73, she had already rebuilt her championship with a second-round 64 and third-round 68. On Sunday, she steadied the lead with controlled iron play and a hot putter, making key putts around the middle of the round and then saving an important par at the 16th when the leaderboard pressure was highest.
The closing stretch became a test of control rather than a birdie sprint. Ryu kept giving herself the right looks, worked cleanly with caddie Martin Bos, and finished the job in her first start after a six-week break from minor surgery. The final putts and closing applause made it official: Ryu had turned a tough opening round into a major title at Hazeltine.

Leaderboard shape: Ryu and Yoon ended up separating from most of the field, but the round had real movement behind them. Henderson stayed inside the final podium group, Weber produced the biggest surprise run into third, and Corpuz, Auston Kim, and Alison Lee finished as the best of the next wave at 7-under.
Final-round scoring theme: The rain delay softened Hazeltine and created more scoring chances, but the major still came down to controlling approaches, converting mid-range putts, and handling the late pressure. Ryu did all three well enough to turn a one-shot 54-hole lead into a two-shot major win.
Final takeaway: Ryu's win was built on a complete reset after Thursday. She opened with 73, then played the final three rounds in 14-under to win by two. Yoon recovered well enough from Saturday's 75 to finish second, Henderson stayed in the top three, and Weber turned the final round into the best major finish of her career.
Tournament summary: The 2026 KPMG Women's PGA Championship is complete with Hae Ran Ryu winning at 13-under, Ina Yoon second at 11-under, and Brooke Henderson and Dewi Weber tied third at 10-under. The week flipped multiple times: Yoon opened with a 63, Ryu stormed back with a Friday 64, Saturday reset the top of the board, and Sunday confirmed Ryu as the major champion at Hazeltine.
