Nelly Korda rallies to win 3rd straight LPGA Tour start at Ford Championship

Associated Press  

GILBERT, Ariz. — Nelly Korda won her hometown event in a playoff after closing eagle-birdie. Korda became the first LPGA Tour player in eight years to win three straight starts, shooting a 7-under 65 to rally for for a two-stroke victory in the Ford Championship. She’s the first LPGA Tour player to win three straight starts since Ariya Jutanugarn in 2016 and first American since Nancy Lopez won five straight 1978. “Taking it day by day, really trying to stay very present and just played really good golf, solid golf in tough conditions today, which I’m very happy about.” Australian rookie Hira Naveed was in position to tie Korda after hitting her second shot just right of the par-5 18th, but an indifferent chip led to a par. “Just tried to stay really aggressive and I knew I had to shoot a low one to be in contention,” Korda said “Just played really smart golf out there today.” Naveed made the record-low cut of 5 under on the number and raced up the leaderboard with a third-round 65 before the winds picked up.
