American golfer Nelly Korda clinched a remarkable fifth victory in a row on Sunday, sealing her second major title with a win at the Chevron Championship and in the process levelling the LPGA Tour record for consecutive wins.
The world No.1 finished two shots clear of Sweden’s Maja Stark at Carlton Woods in Texas, a final round three-under 69 enough to top the leaderboard at 13-under overall. Having begun the year on eight LPGA Tour wins, Korda has surged to 13 in a matter of months. The 25-year-old Floridian’s fifth successive triumph sees her join compatriot Nancy Lopez and Sweden’s Annika Sörenstam as the only LPGA players to build such a streak.
Seven straight pars saw her begin the final round one shot behind South Korean leader Ryu Hae-ran, but Korda wasted little time making her move, birdieing four times through the first 10 holes to race ahead. A bogey at the following hole marked her first since the 7th of Friday’s second round, an unblemished 39-hole run.
