Recently crowned women’s golf world No. 1 Nelly Korda won her 11th career title on Sunday and claimed her third LPGA victory in a row, winning the Ford Championship at Seville Golf and Country Club. The 25-year-old navigated miserable conditions in Gilbert, Arizona, to hit a bogey-free seven-under-par 65 and win by two shots over Australian rookie Hira Naveed.
