Nelly Korda unstoppable
New week of the LPGA, and new victory for Nelly Korda. With a total of -20 and a final card of 65 (-7), the American won the Ford Championship presented by KCC, her third consecutive success on the LPGA. Nelly Korda marks the history of her sport a little more and establishes her domination in the world rankings. Céline Boutier finally finished 35th, penalized by a rather sad weekend with cards of 72 (PAR) and 71 (-1).
The weeks follow each other… and are similar on the LPGA Tour! After two consecutive successes, Nelly Korda achieved a third success in a row by winning the Ford Championship presented by KCC. Well placed at the start of the last round, the young American scored 65 (-7) thanks to a great day of putting, to win with two strokes ahead of the Australian Hira Naveed. Already widely leading the world rankings, Nelly Korda will be very difficult to catch up this year.

Nice group shot from the Europeans. Although the victory went to a local, Maja Stark, Carlota Ciganda and Frida Kinhult shared a good 3rd place.
Lilia Vu, the 2023 in-form player of the year with Céline Boutier, seemed to find her body and her golf again this week. Penalized by injuries and withdrawals at the start of the year, Vu finished 21st this week, having opened her tournament brilliantly with a 64 (-8). It's time to get the ball rolling!
Céline Boutier, although at the forefront from the first round, had more difficulty this weekend. The French number 1 returned cards of 72 (PAR) and 71 (-1) and finally finished in 35th place in this event in Arizona.
This feels like deja vu… 🤪@NellyKorda takes home the trophy at the inaugural #FordChampionship!
