‘I can’t even wrap my head around it’: Nelly Korda continues historic run with fourth consecutive LPGA Tour victory

Many golfers would be content to retire with four LPGA Tour titles. Nelly Korda has amassed that haul in just over two months.

Many golfers would be content to retire with four LPGA Tour titles. Nelly Korda has amassed that haul in just over two months. The American world No. 1 won her fourth tournament in a row on the circuit at the T-Mobile Match Play on Sunday, making short work of Ireland’s Leona Maguire during the championship match in Las Vegas. Korda won four of the first seven holes at Leopard Creek and wrapped up victory with three holes left to play to claim her 12th LPGA Tour victory and extend her winning streak. Not since Mexico’s Lorena Ochoa in 2008 has a player tallied four consecutive victories on the Tour. No American had achieved more than a hat-trick since Nancy Lopez rattled off five straight in 1978, an all-time record shared with a fellow World Golf Hall of Famer, Sweden’s Annika Sörenstam. Still just 25 years old, Korda could tie the pair’s record on the biggest stage later this month – if she can claim her second major title at the Chevron Championship. “I can’t even wrap my head around it honestly,” Korda told reporters Sunday.
