2026 U.S. Women's Open: Korda and Kim Share Lead Heading Into Sunday's Final Round at Riviera
The Stage Is Set at Riviera
The 2026 U.S. Women's Open concludes Sunday at Riviera Country Club in Los Angeles, with world No. 1 Nelly Korda entering the final round in prime position. After a shaky opening round, Korda rallied with a 67 in Round 3, closing with three consecutive birdies to share the 54-hole lead at 6-under par alongside LPGA veteran Sei Young Kim.
Leaderboard at a Glance
- Nelly Korda (-6): Three-time major champion seeking her first U.S. Women's Open title - Sei Young Kim (-6): 13 LPGA wins and one major victory; a proven closer - Jennifer Kupcho & In Gee Chun (-5): Former major champion Chun lurks one back
A Korda victory would mark her fourth major title and cement her status as the dominant force in women's golf.

Strokeslab Take
Korda's back-nine momentum heading into Sunday is a critical psychological factor. Watch her SG: Approach and SG: Putting numbers closely — Riviera's demanding conditions will reveal whether her Round 3 surge represents a genuine reset or a temporary spike.
Korda's closing birdies in Round 3 aren't just a feel-good narrative — they signal a measurable shift in shot quality that SG data should confirm once final-round numbers are available.
