At one point in the evening I really thought hometown favourite Stacy Lewis was going to send all her fans in Arkansas home happy, but she missed too many putts and in the end it was a startling finish from a little woman who has nothing to do with Arkansas.. Na Yeon Choi from South Korea who holed an 8 iron for an eagle 2 at 17, then stiffed the same club for birdie at 17 who shot 69 and got to -15 for a 2 shot win over Japan's Miya Miyazato (67)
While Choi celebrated, the ending was a difficult finish to handle for Lewis, who bogeyed her final hole for a 68 to tie for third with Azahara Munoz (66) and Anna Nordqvist (70) at -12. Second-ranked Lydia Ko had a 63 to tie for sixth at 11 under.
Lewis has gone 27 tournaments without a victory, her longest since a 25-tournament stretch between her first and second career wins in 2011-12.
Rebecca Lee-Bentham finished T52 at -3.
