Se Ri Pak, age 24, won the second of her three LPGA Championships,[1][2] three strokes ahead of runner-up Beth Daniel, the 54-hole leader and champion in 1990.[3] It was the fourth of Pak's five major titles; at the time, she was the youngest woman to win four major titles.[2] Daniel, age 45, was attempting to become the oldest winner of a major in LPGA history, but carded a final round 77.[1]

Annika Sörenstam shot 65 to climb up the leaderboard into third; she won the next three editions of this championship.

The DuPont Country Club hosted the LPGA Championship for eleven consecutive seasons, from 1994 through 2004.
