Recently crowned women’s golf world No. 1 Nelly Korda won her 11th career title on Sunday and claimed her third LPGA victory in a row, winning the Ford Championship at Seville Golf and Country Club. The 25-year-old navigated miserable conditions in Gilbert, Arizona, to hit a bogey-free seven-under-par 65 and win by two shots over Australian rookie Hira Naveed. Despite starting the day two shots off the lead, Korda expressed afterwards that she felt it was a comfortable victory.
With the win, Korda became the first woman to win three consecutive starts since 2016, and the first American to achieve the feat since Nancy Lopez won five straight events in 1978, per the Tour. Additionally, she is the first player to take home three LPGA Tour titles before April 1 since Yani Tseng did so 12 years ago and the first American to accomplish this since JoAnne Carner in 1980. “I’m just really enjoying myself out there,” Korda said about her incredible recent form.“I love golf.
