With her winning streak, the American standout matched the LPGA record.
THE WOODLANDS, Tex. — Entering this weekend’s Chevron Championship, Nelly Korda insisted that all her sport needed was a stage to elevate its profile at a time of burgeoning interest in women’s sports. On one of the LPGA Tour’s biggest, the world’s top-ranked player delivered again, extending her winning streak to a record-tying five and claiming her second major championship.
Starting the final round one stroke behind 54-hole leader Hae Ran Ryu, Korda went in front to stay thanks to a bogey-free front nine highlighted by birdies on two of her first four holes. By the time she made the turn, Korda held a three-stroke lead over Ryu and Brooke Henderson, all playing in the final group.
