Stark only held a one-stroke lead over the rest of the field after recording pars on each of the first five holes of the day. She finally gained some separation with a birdie on hole No. 6, but quickly followed it up with a bogey on No. 7.
Her lead increased on the back nine, racking up birdies on No. 11 and No. 14 to take a three-shot advantage at the top spot on the leaderboard.
While Stark carded another bogey on No. 17, she was still able to maintain the same lead after Korda faltered with a bogey of her own on No. 18.
Korda started strong with three birdies through her first eight holes of the day, but was only able to record one more across her final 10 holes. She also amassed two bogeys over that span.
Stark earned her first major title and second LPGA Tour victory with her win on Sunday. She previously won the 2022 ISPS Handa World Invitational.
Stark will look to continue her momentum in the Women's PGA Championship, the next major on the 2025 schedule, which will begin on June 19.
