Nelly Korda delivers more drama and wins playoff for 10th LPGA Tour title

Associated Press  

PALOS VERDES ESTATES, Calif. — Nelly Korda took seven weeks off and nothing changed. Korda made bogey on her last two holes Sunday to fall into a playoff in the Fir Hills Seri Pak Championship, and then ended it quickly with a 12-foot birdie putt on the first extra hole to beat Ryann O’Toole and return to No. “I’m aging myself really quickly out here,” the 25-year-old Korda said. O’Toole hit 7-iron from the right rough to about 15 feet and her birdie putt burned the edge of the cup. I can’t be more proud.” Korda decided to skip the entire Asia swing, giving her nearly two months off.
