US Women's Open Golf 2016: Final Leaderboard Scores, Prize-Money Payouts, More

Heading into Sunday, world No. 1 Lydia Ko was preparing to add another trophy to her mantle. Eighteen holes later, the golf world was left with a stark reminder that Ko is just 19 years old.

The world No. 1 fell apart with a three-over 75 in the final round at the U.S. Women's Open, setting the stage for a controversial playoff between Brittany Lang and Anna Nordqvist.

Lang shot even par in the three-hole aggregate playoff to defeat Nordqvist by three strokes. She had carded a one-under 71 in her round Sunday to move up from fourth place into a tie for the clubhouse lead when the dust settled.
