LPGA : Chevron Championship
Nelly Korda returned to the top of the LPGA with a dominant 5 shot victory at the LPGA Chevron Championship in Houston, Texas
Nelly Korda has won 17 tournaments on the LPGA Tour
It is her 2nd Chevron in the last 3 seasons, equalling the tournament 54 hole record -20 but fell 2 short of the 72 hole record with her -18 total.
"Honestly, having that big of a lead, it's not easy. It was definitely one of the hardest things I've had to do mentally.
"I have an amazing support system. An amazing family who are right behind me. An amazing caddie who is on the bag and I'm just happy to get it done."
Korda takes her tally of majors to three, after also winning the Women's PGA Championship in 2021.
After rounds of 65 on Thursday and Friday, Korda followed with successive rounds of 70 over the weekend at Houston's Memorial Park.
Thailand's Patty Tavatanakit began the day five shots adrift in second but was unable to reduce the deficit, having also ended her tournament with a two-under-par 70.
Canada's Brooke Henderson finished T49 74 71 72 73 +2
