Hannah Green has fallen short of a medal as American world No.1 Nelly Korda added another chapter to her family's storied sporting career with a gripping win in Olympic women's golf.
Korda withstood a fierce challenge from the chasing pack to clinch gold on Saturday with a final-round two-under-par 69 at the Kasumigaseki Country Club.
The 23-year-old finished at 17 under, one shot ahead of New Zealand's former world No.1 Lydia Ko and Japan sensation Mone Inami, who both closed with 65s to set up a sudden-death playoff for the silver and bronze medals.
Either way, Ko is guaranteed to become golf's first dual Olympic medallist having also snared silver in Rio five years ago behind South Korea's Inbee Park.
India's Ashok Aditi (68) finished fourth at 15 under, two behind Korda, with Green a further two shots back in equal fifth with Dane Emily Kristine Pederson (68).
After starting the day five behind Korda in a share of third spot, Green's challenge appeared to have faltered when she ambled through the front nine in two over par to fall seven shots off the pace and four out of medals contention.
But the 2019 US PGA champion rallied with a spectacular back-nine blitz.
With four birdies and an eagle, Green went six under through seven holes before play was suspended due to lightning.
She missed another makeable birdie putt immediately after the 45-minute delay, then took bogey at the last to miss a medal.
Korda's triumph is the latest for the world No.1's incredible sporting family.
Her older sister Jessica, who finished tied 15th in Tokyo, won the 2012 Australian Open women's championship as a teenager, while younger brother Sebastian won the 2018 Australian Open junior tennis crown, 20 years after the talented trio's father Petr captured the men's title at Melbourne Park.
