Nelly Korda claims fifth straight LPGA Tour win at Chevron Championship - The Washington Post

THE WOODLANDS, Tex. — Entering this weekend’s Chevron Championship, Nelly Korda insisted that all her sport needed was a stage to elevate its profile at a time of burgeoning interest in women’s sports. On one of the LPGA Tour’s biggest, the world’s top-ranked player delivered again, extending her winning streak to a record-tying five and claiming her second major championship.

With a birdie at the 18th hole, Korda shot a 3-under-par 69 in the final round at The Club at Carlton Woods to finish at 13-under 275, two strokes clear of Sweden’s Maja Stark. Korda joined Hall of Famers Nancy Lopez and Annika Sorenstam as the only players to have won five consecutive starts.

Starting the final round one stroke behind 54-hole leader Hae Ran Ryu, Korda went in front to stay thanks to a bogey-free front nine highlighted by birdies on two of her first four holes. By the time she made the turn, Korda held a three-stroke lead over Ryu and Brooke Henderson, all playing in the final group.

This is a breaking story and will be updated.
