Megha Ganne’s Third-Round 72 Delivers U.S. Women’s World Amateur Title on Odd Tiebreaker

Tied at 18 under with Spain and Korea, the U.S. won via the event’s tiebreaker: lowest non-counting score. Catherine Park’s closing birdie matched 71s, pushing it to the third round, where Ganne’s even-par 72 decided it. “It’s a heartbreaking tiebreaker… the third score could matter,” Ganne said. Farah O’Keefe added, “We talked about it… everybody counted.”
