GILBERT, Ariz. — The second leg of the three-tournament West Coast swing on the LPGA is in the books with the conclusion of the inaugural Ford Championship.
Hoisting the trophy on Sunday? None other than world No. 1 Nelly Korda, who’s now won three straight starts on the LPGA.
Korda took her first outright lead of the week on the back nine Sunday and never looked back, winning for the 11th time in her LPGA career.
With Ford signed on as the title sponsor and the Thunderbirds, who run the PGA Tour’s WM Phoenix Open joining as a founding partner, the total purse and first-place money got bumped to $2.25 million and $337,500, respectively.
Korda’s career total is now $9.86 million, good for 26th all-time in 131 starts.
