Playoff winner twice over to start her season, Nelly Korda looked poised for another sudden death finish but a solid backside 32 and a brilliant 65 — coupled with her rivals’ faltering finishes — paved the way for a two-stroke win over rookie Hira Naveed in the Ford Championship.
Nelly Korda of the United States poses with the trophy after the final round of the Ford Championship presented by KCC at the Seville Golf and Country Club on March 31, 2024 in Phoenix, Arizona.
Despite the inclement weather, the final round was a nail-biter with four players, including Korda, tied for the lead in one stretch and 11 others within striking distance early on at the backnine. But it was Korda’s clutch birdies down the stretch that sealed her victory as her closest challengers stumbled at the finish.
Thompson briefly tied Korda at the top with a bogey-free five-under card after 14 holes. But she drove into the water on No. 16 and failed to get up-and-down on the next for bogeys. She birdied the last to salvage a 68. In contrast, Korda played steady through four days in the desert although she stood at joint 10th, two shots off the troika of Ciganda, Hyo Joo Kim and Sarah Schmeizel entering the final 18 holes through the weather that got progressively worse at the Seville Golf and Country Club.
