I called my dad very quickly. I didn’t even have time to look at my phone, for sure I will have many messages! Emotions overwhelm me now
Korda exclaimed after his last run.
I knew this tournament was going to be tough and very competitive. Lid (Ko) made several good shots to keep the score tight. It was a fight.
New Zealand’s Lydia Ko (-16) and Japan’s Moon Inami (-16) tied for second place. Inami eventually took him to the extra hole to get his hands on the money. ko ends in bronze.

Brooke Henderson played her best run of the last day to finish at -4. She signed a 67 (-4) card to finish 29th.
It’s good to end this tour. Glad I got so many sparrows, I needed them. The experience is more enjoyable. I am happy to be an Olympic athlete for the second time and I hope to be in better shape in three years in Paris
This is Henderson.
It was different from not having supporters. At the same time, it is a chance to be on this platform and represent your country. I tried to take advantage of it.

Teammate Alina Sharp (75) had a more difficult day and finished at +5 at 49th place.
It’s a bit frustrating. I’m tired and feel it today. My pulse was lazy. I still played four rounds in the Olympic tournament and represented Canada. I must see the positive

The International Golf Association moved ahead of the round to 6:30 a.m. local time in an effort to finish that last round before a tropical storm made the game too dangerous.
