: Korda Wins Second Major Title, Makes History with Fifth Consecutive LPGA Victory

Nelly Korda has won the 2024 Chevron Championship, securing her second major title with a performance that combined poise, precision, and nerves of steel. The world number one finished the tournament at 13 under par, clinching the title with a birdie on the 18th hole and a celebratory fist pump. Her victory marks her fifth consecutive LPGA event win, making her just the third player in history to achieve such a feat, following in the footsteps of legends Nancy Lopez and Annika Sörenstam.

Korda, who has been on a dominant run in recent months, started the final day with a narrow lead and faced pressure from the chasing pack, which included Maja Stark, who finished second at 11 under, and Lauren Coughlin and Brooke Henderson, who tied for third at 10 under. Despite some nerves creeping in during the tense final round, Korda maintained her composure and finished with a final-round 69, adding to her consistent scores throughout the week (68-69-69-69).

In an emotional post-round interview, Korda admitted to feeling the nerves but spoke about her ability to stay focused, taking “one shot at a time.” She shared her joy at fulfilling a lifelong dream of winning a major, noting that “it was a little bit of a grind” and describing the back nine as “the longest back nine of my entire life.”

The victory solidifies Korda’s status as one of the game’s brightest stars and continues her extraordinary form on the LPGA Tour. Her win at the Chevron Championship is another chapter in what is quickly becoming one of the most impressive seasons in recent women’s golf history.

With the title, Korda now joins an elite group of players who have dominated the sport, and as the season progresses, many are wondering if she can extend her remarkable streak to six victories in a row. One thing is for certain: Nelly Korda’s dominance on the LPGA Tour is a force to be reckoned with.
