Juli Inkster won her second consecutive LPGA Championship on the second hole of a sudden-death playoff with Stefania Croce, and became the first reigning champion to successfully defend the title since 1984.
Inkster was the 54-hole co-leader with Wendy Ward after a 65 (−6) on Saturday, but shot a final round 75 on a blustery Sunday; she had a three-shot lead with five holes to play, but made a double bogey on 14 and missed a six-foot (1.8 m) par putt on the final hole. Inkster parred both holes in the sudden-death playoff to win the sixth of her seven major titles.
The DuPont Country Club hosted this championship for eleven consecutive seasons, from 1994 through 2004.
