Korda Clinches Chevron Title for Second Major, Setting LPGA Record with Fifth Consecutive Victory
Record-tying fifth consecutive LPGA title was won by American Nelly Korda at the Chevron Championship. Claiming her second major and 13th career tour triumph, Korda equated the LPGA record set by Nancy Lopez in 1978 and matched by Annika Sorenstam between 2004 and 2005. The intense battle at Carlton Woods, managed to hold off rivals and Nelly Korda never lost her lead, securing a $1.2 million top prize. Korda fired a three-under par 69 in the final round to finish 13 under 275 after 72 holes.
Born to former Czech tennis star Petr Korda, Nelly Korda had earlier won her major crown at the 2021 Women’s PGA Championship and had also seized a gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics. With simplicity as her key, she treats every game shot by shot without overcomplicating the approach. Even with late complications, Korda managed to hold the nerves setting in and kept her focus on achieving the major trophy she had always dreamt of as a little girl.
