WASHINGTON—World number one Nelly Korda matched an LPGA record with her fifth consecutive victory on Sunday, winning the Chevron Championship for her second major crown and 13th career tour triumph.
“I can finally breathe now. That back nine felt like the longest back nine of my entire life,” Korda said.The 25-year-old American fired a three-under par 69 in the final round to finish on 13-under 275 after 72 holes. This year, Korda also won January’s Drive On Championship, last month’s Seri Pak and Ford championships and the LPGA Match Play earlier this month.
“I was definitely starting to feel it on the back nine, the nerves setting in,” Korda said. “It’s a major. It’s everything I’ve always wanted as a little girl, to lift that major trophy. Coughlin, however, made bogeys at 16 and 17 and Henderson took a bogey at 14, leaving Korda with a four-stroke lead.
