Inbee Park walked off the 18th green saying she did everything she could to make a run at the LPGA Lotte Championship.

The world’s No. 1-ranked player shot a 5-under 67 on Saturday and nearly caught third-round leader Angela Stanford, who started the day seven shots in front of Park.

The only problem was hometown favorite Michelle Wie matched Park’s 67 to win by two.

Park finished in third place, three shots back, but was in no celebratory mood after her fifth top-10 finish in six LPGA events this season.

The four-time major winner is looking to break through for her first win of the season after claiming six tournament titles in 2013.

"I’ve pretty much done everything else except win," Park said. "I’ve finished second, third, fourth, fifth and just no wins, but I’m sure it’s one (on) the way."

Park spent much of the tournament lurking just behind Wie and Stanford but could never make that final push to leap ahead on the leaderboard.

She was poised to end the second round with at least a share of the 36-hole lead when she double-bogeyed 17 to fall two behind Stanford.

Park made two birdies on the front nine on Friday to get back into contention before a rare second double bogey on No. 13 was followed up by a bogey on 18 to drop her into a tie for 10th heading into Saturday.

"Those two double bogeys came because I was hitting it over the green and I was hitting flyers off the rough," Park said. "That’s been the only problems."

She didn’t have a score in mind entering Saturday but knew she’d have to go low if she wanted to take home the trophy.

Park felt good about her chances when she walked up to the first tee and noticed the wind blowing in a different direction than the first three days.

The gusts were just as hard as the previous three rounds, but Park said they were coming from a different direction and could potentially throw off some of the other golfers, helping her potentially get in front if she could avoid any mistakes.

"It was a little more gusty and a little tougher to judge because we were so used to playing the same wind all of the time," Park said. "It was a little bit tricky, but it was the best day I had in four days. I was putting it really good and there’s nothing I have to complain about."

She played bogey-free on Saturday and finished the round hitting 11 of 14 fairways and all 18 greens.

She started off with a birdie on the first hole and added another on No. 5 to finish with a 34 at the turn.

Park made one last run with three straight birdies on 13, 14 and 15 and just pushed a putt right of the hole on 18 that would have elevated her into a tie for second place.

Despite failing to notch her first win of the season, the reigning Rolex player of the year will begin her 54th consecutive week ranked No. 1 in the world on Monday.

Her even-par 72 on Friday matched her worst round of the year in a non-major.
