Who won women's golf at the 2024 Paris Olympics? Final leaderboard and podium explored

Women's golf at the 2024 Paris Olympics concluded with Lydia Ko taking the gold medal. Esther Henseleit of Germany made a late surge on the final day to pick up a surprising silver medal. China's Lin Xiyu Janet finished in third place, taking home the bronze medal.

With this gold medal win, Lydia Ko has now secured a medal in every Olympic since golf's re-introduction. Previously, the 27-year-old from New Zealand claimed silver in Rio and bronze in Tokyo. This victory also earns her the final point needed to fulfill the LPGA Hall of Fame's 27-point criteria.

Rose Zhang was the top-ranked American golfer, finishing tied for ninth with a score of -4. Nelly Korda finished T22, while Lilia Vu, who had taken an early lead, ended up in a disappointing tie for 36th. Morgane Metraux, the leader after the third round, finished tied for 18th alongside home favorite Celine Boutier.
