Last year: Park beat fellow South Korean competitor So Yeon Ryu on the second hole of a playoff at Kemper Lakes Golf Club near Chicago to claim her second major. Japanese teenager Nasa Hataoka shot a final-round 8-under 64 and also reached the playoff at 10 under but bowed out with a par the first extra hole. Jessica Korda and Angel Yin tied for fourth at 7 under, with Charley Hull and Brooke Henderson at 6 under. Henderson, who was in second through three rounds, shot a Sunday 74.

Who to watch: It's a full 156-player field. Eleven former winners of the event are scheduled to play, including LPGA Hall of Famer Laura Davies. The LPGA has had a deep mix of talent this season, with 13 winners in 15 events played. World No. 1 Jin Young Ko and Henderson, who won the Meijer LPGA Classic on Sunday, are the only players to win twice. LPGA Tour rookie Jeongeun Lee6 comes in off a runner-up to Henderson at the ShopRite Classic on June 9 and a win at the U.S. Women's Open on June 2. Michelle Wie, who withdrew from the U.S. Women's Open because of a wrist injury and hasn't made a cut in a major since last year's Women's PGA Championship, is on the final field list. Former Wayzata High golfer Sarah Burnham is in the field.
