The medals were presented by Dick Pound, IOC member, Canada and Antony Scanlon, Secretary General of the IGF.

The 1908 Games in London were also supposed to have a men's golf competition, but a dispute led to a boycott by all of the host nation's golfers, leaving only a single international competitor and resulting in the cancellation of the event.

[2] The top 60 golfers, subject to limits per nation and guarantees for the host and continental representation, were selected.

Stacy Lewis of the United States shot the low round of the day, an 8-under-par 63, to climb to second place, one stroke behind Park.

Lydia Ko shot the low round of the day, a 6-under-par 65 to move into a tie for second place with American Gerina Piller.

Lydia Ko (silver) and Shanshan Feng (bronze) of China joined Park in the medals with final rounds of two-under-par 69.
