Nelly Korda returned to the top of the world rankings after claiming a dominant five-shot victory in the LPGA Chevron Championship.<\/b><\/p>\n

It is Korda’s second Chevron title in three seasons and ensures she leapfrogs Jeeno Thitikul in the rankings, after the Thai missed the cut.<\/p>\n

The American equalled the event’s 54-hole scoring record on Saturday but fell two shots short of the tournament record of 20 under par.<\/p>\n

“That was a hard weekend,” Korda told NBC Sports. <\/p>\n

“Honestly, having that big of a lead, it’s not easy. It was definitely one of the hardest things I’ve had to do mentally.<\/p>\n

“I have an amazing support system. An amazing family who are right behind me. An amazing caddie who is on the bag and I’m just happy to get it done.”<\/p>\n

Korda takes her tally of majors to three, after also winning the Women’s PGA Championship in 2021.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Korda, 27, made a positive start to the day, with two birdies on the first three holes, but two bogeys on the back nine meant the record slipped away.<\/p>\n

After rounds of 65 on Thursday and Friday, Korda followed with successive rounds of 70 over the weekend at Houston’s Memorial Park.<\/p>\n

Thailand’s Patty Tavatanakit began the day five shots adrift in second but was unable to reduce the deficit, having also ended her tournament with a two-under-par 70.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
