Chun In-gee finished tied for second at the LPGA Tour's Walmart NW Arkansas Championship, which offered $3 million in prize money.

Chun carded a 6-under 65 in the final round Sunday at Pinnacle Country Club in Rogers, Arkansas, recording seven birdies against one bogey.

She finished at 16-under 197, tied for second with Japan's Akie Iwai and Thailand's Chanettee Wannasaen. The result was Chun's best finish of the season since placing fourth at the US Women's Open.

Chun, a four-time LPGA Tour winner, has not added to her victory total since winning the KPMG Women's PGA Championship in 2022.

Japan's Yuna Nishimura shot a final-round 5-under 66 to finish at 21-under 192 and claim her first LPGA Tour title since making her debut on the circuit in 2023. She earned $450,000 in prize money.

Nishimura entered the final round with a five-stroke lead after shooting 63 in each of the first two rounds. She slowed on the front nine with an even-par 36 but pulled away on the back nine, where she played 5 under with an eagle.

Chun began the final round tied for fifth and opened with consecutive birdies on the first two holes. She dropped a shot with a bogey at the par-3 third but added birdies at the par-5 seventh and par-4 ninth to make the turn 3 under for the day.

She picked up three more strokes on the back nine to finish tied for second and earned $212,764.

Lim Jin-hee finished tied for eighth at 14-under 199. Amy Yang and Kim A-lim tied for 15th at 12-under 201, Hwang You-min tied for 22nd at 11-under 202, and Lee So-mi tied for 34th at 8-under 205.
