Ryu started the final round with a commanding four-stroke lead at 17-under, but subsequently shot a 73, after a bogey-birdie-bogey finish in the latter part of the game.\n\nChoi, aiming for her maiden LPGA title in her 125th career start, had an opportunity to force a playoff but fell short. Choi's late push came to an end when her birdie putt on the 18th hole missed the mark, resulting in a par and a round of 69.
