Yealimi Noh's performance during the fourth round of the Founders Cup included three birdies and no bogeys. Noh made just three bogeys during the tournament and went bogey-free over the final 36 holes.

When it comes to streaks of consecutive bogey-free holes, tournament runner-up Jin-Young Ko is the model to follow. The Korean extended her streak to 95 holes, which ended on the 12th hole of the fourth round of the Founders Cup. Ko made three bogeys in the final six holes of the day.

World number one Nelly Korda closed the tournament with a final round of even par 71, with two birdies and two bogeys. Korda posted another top 10, after finishing tied for second at the Tournament of Champions a week ago. The two-time major winner has not finished outside the top 10 in official tournaments since the 2024 Amundi Evian Championship in July.
