TEAM JESSICA KORDA TRIUMPH AT ARAMCO TEAM SERIES – SOTOGRANDE

• Team Jessica Korda win Aramco Team Series – Sotogrande on 33-under-par
• Jessica Korda holds six-shot lead in the Individual competition with one round remaining

Team Jessica Korda were victorious at the Aramco Team Series – Sotogrande as they recorded a final round of 14-under-par to secure a one-shot win at La Reserva Club de Sotogrande.

After starting the day in front, Jessica Korda, Tereza Melecka, Noora Komulainen and amateur Malcolm Borwick backed up their excellent first day of -19 with another great round to seal victory on 33-under-par in Spain.

It was a second win in this format for the older Korda sister – after her success at the 2021 Aramco Team Series – New York – while she also leads in the Individual tournament on 15-under-par with a six-stroke lead heading into the final day.

“Malcolm played great. It was awesome. I think he shot the lowest round he’s ever shot today, which was phenomenal. He was just a joy to be around and brought such a positive outlook on everything.”

For amateur Borwick, who is a polo player, it was an experience of a lifetime to be able to tee it up as a part of Team Jessica Korda.

He said: “I’ve had an incredible few days. I’m going to go back to playing polo. The nerves you get playing tournament golf is aging me as the days go on, but it’s been incredible. Playing with the girls, frankly the level of professionalism and purity with which they hit the ball consistently is amazing.

“What we do in polo is much more of an adrenaline-based sport, much more reflexes. This is so cerebral. You have to reset every time and try and rub away the mistakes. I’m massively grateful for all the advice and the…
