Las Vegas resident Rose Zhang missed out on a medal in the final round of the women’s golf competition at the Paris Olympics.

Lydia Ko, a 27-year-old from New Zealand, clinched an automatic spot in the LPGA Hall of Fame, claiming a gold medal at 10-under 278 after a final round of 1-under 71. Ko previously won the silver medal in Rio de Janeiro in 2016 and bronze in Tokyo in 2021.

Esther Henseleit of Germany finished birdie-birdie for a 6-under 66 to take the silver, two shots back at 8-under 280. Xiyu Lin of China birdied the final hole for a 3-under 69 to take the bronze at 7-under 281.

Zhang, who came into the day tied for third, closed with two birdies on the last three holes for a 2-over 74, leaving her tied for eighth at 5-under 283.

Zhang effectively played tennis with Miyu Yamashita on the ninth green, chipping from one side of the green to the other, back and forth, until both made double bogey.
