Korda Clinches Chevron Championship in Style, Ending with a Cannonball Splash
TL;DR
Nelly Korda captured the Chevron Championship with an 18-under total, after opening with two 65s that gave her a 36-hole LPGA major record of 130. She held a five-stroke lead into Sunday and, despite a slower weekend, sealed the win with a final-par putt. The victory, her third major and second Chevron in three years, extends her LPGA tally to 17 and sets up a return to world No. 1. The win at Memorial Park also featured a post-round cannonball splash and drew a larger crowd as attendance improved through the weekend.
