Nelly Korda's recital on the Pelican Women's Championship
At the Pelican Women's Championship in Florida, it was the American Nelly Korda who spun to victory thanks to a great imperial game. With her total of -14, she lifts a new trophy on the LPGA Tour by winning ahead of Lexi Thompson and Allisen Corpuz. Pauline Roussin-Bouchard signs a top 20 with a 17th place.
Thanks to a last card of 64 (-6), Nelly Korda wins her eighth victory on the LPGA Tour by winning the Pelican Women's Championship. The American simply unrolled during these three days of golf, missing only one fairway during the tournament. She won one step ahead of Lexi Thompson, signing an anecdotal bogey on hole 18.
Lexi Thompson didn't miss much on the last lap, but her two bogeys on the start of the comeback surely ruled her out of victory. Allisen Corpus completes the podium.
Nelly Korda was the defending champion of the Pelican Women's Championship. This victory was until then his last victory on the LPGA Tour. With this victory on the LPGA Tour, Nelly Korda becomes world number 1 again. She had not occupied the throne of world golf since January 2021.
