2017 ANA Inspiration
women's golf tournament in California
The 2017 ANA Inspiration was a professional women's golf tournament played March 30 – April 2 at the Dinah Shore Tournament Course at Mission Hills Country Club in Rancho Mirage, California. It was the 46th edition of the tournament, and its 35th as one of the Women's majors.
Ryu So-yeon sank a birdie putt on the first hole of a sudden-death playoff to win her second major title. Ryu and Lexi Thompson ended the final round tied for the lead at 274 (−14). Thompson had been assessed a controversial four-stroke penalty on her third round score due to a rules infraction first reported to the LPGA by a television viewer on Sunday. At the time of notification, Thompson was leading at 16-under with six holes remaining, and her score became 12-under, two strokes behind.
