PALOS VERDES ESTATES, Calif. (AP) — Nelly Korda made bogey on her final two holes Sunday to fall into a playoff and atoned for it quickly, making a 12-foot birdie putt to beat Ryann O'Toole in the Fir Hills Seri Pak Championship to return to No. 1 in the world.
Korda, who closed with a 2-under 69, won for the second time this year, both of them involving surprising collapses and amazing revivals.
“I'm aging myself really quickly out here,” the 25-year-old Korda said.
She won the Drive On Championship in Florida in January by dropping four shots in three holes on the back nine, only to rally with an eagle-birdie finish to beat Lydia Ko.
