Three closing holes at Norwood Hills

Johnson trailed after the fifteenth hole. A 25-foot birdie putt on the sixteenth brought the match level. On the eighteenth, her 220-yard second shot with a 7-wood, a fairway club, reached the green; a short birdie putt then secured the title. A birdie is one stroke under par for the hole.²
