The 2023 Kroger Queen City Championship final leaderboard is headed by winner Minjee Lee, who earned her ninth LPGA Tour win in a playoff at Kenwood Country Club in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Lee and Charley Hull wound up in a sudden-death playoff after both players finished tied on 16-under 272, with both players getting up-and-down for a playoff-inducing par from the fairway bunker on the challenging par-4 finisher.

Then on the second hole of the playoff, with both played on the 18th, Lee hit a second shot out of the rough that tumbled toward the hole to practical kick-in range for the win.

Ruoning Yin finished in solo third, two shots out of the playoff, and will become the new world No. 1 in the Rolex Rankings.
