A win in her final match would have put her in contention for a place in the round of 16, but she was unable to do so.
With one win, one draw and one loss, Kim failed to advance to the round of 16 as Knight improved to 2-1.
Kim had dreams of victory after taking a one-hole lead into the 17th hole, but dropped the 18th (par-4) to tie the match.
Lee Jeong-eun, who was tied for second place after the second round of group play, lost her final group match to Brooke Henderson (CAN) by four strokes.
Lee finished third in Group 2 with one win, one draw, and one loss, missing out on a spot in the Round of 16. In Group 2, Sophia Schubert (USA) booked her ticket to the round of 16 with two wins and a draw.
Ji-Eun Shin (KOR) improved to 2-1 with a one-hole victory over Linea Strom (SWE) in her third Group 7 match, but was edged out by Riona Maguire (IRL), who collected three wins.
Hae-ran Hae also defeated Kim Ah-rim by three strokes in her final group match to move to 2-1, but was edged out of the round of 16 by Lindsey Weaver Wright (USA), who won two and tied one.
Korean-American Alison Lee (USA) topped Group 5 with one win and two draws to reach the round of 16.
