Nelly Korda Wins Mizuho Americas Open, Secures Sixth LPGA Title of 2024
Nelly Korda continued her extraordinary run on the LPGA Tour by clinching her sixth title of the season at the Mizuho Americas Open. The victory at Liberty National Golf Club marked Korda’s sixth win in her last seven starts, solidifying her dominance in the 2024 season.
Korda, 25, finished the tournament with a one-under-par 71 on the final day, bringing her total to 14-under, just one stroke ahead of Australian golfer Hannah Green
Despite not having her best start, Korda demonstrated resilience and strategic prowess on the back nine. The final round was marked by a head-to-head battle with Green, who stayed even with Korda until a critical bogey on the 18th hole cost Green a potential playoff
Reflecting on her performance, Korda expressed her amazement at the achievement. “Oh, my gosh, six, I can’t even really gather myself right now with that after the head-to-head that Hannah and I had pretty much all day,” she remarked, highlighting the competitive nature of the final round
Korda’s victory at the Mizuho Americas Open places her among the elite in women’s golf. She joins a prestigious group of players who have won six or more LPGA titles before June 1, including legends like Louise Suggs and Lorena Ochoa
The LPGA Tour now takes a brief hiatus before resuming with the U.S. Women’s Open at the end of May, where Korda will look to continue her remarkable season
