In a sudden-death playoff, 2000 champion Karrie Webb defeated Lorena Ochoa with a birdie on the first extra hole, the par-5 18th.[1][2] Webb had earlier holed out for an eagle on the same hole to card a 65 (−7) in the final round to force the playoff. Ochoa recorded a 62 (−10) in the first round, but was one over-par for the final 54 holes; she also eagled the 72nd hole. One stroke out of the playoff were Natalie Gulbis and Michelle Wie, then age 16.[3][4]

It was Webb's second win at this event and her seventh major title, the first in nearly four years, since the Women's British Open in 2002. Through 2016, it is her most recent victory in a major.
