Nelly Korda claimed her third major title with a dominant wire-to-wire victory at The Chevron Championship. The 27-year-old American finished at 18-under par, beating Ruoning Yin and Patty Tavatanakit by five shots. Korda's performance was so commanding she equaled the record-low 54-hole score before Sunday's final round.

Despite some putting struggles that included missed birdie putts and a bogey on the 12th, Korda showed remarkable composure. She bounced back with birdies on the 13th and 14th, and sealed the victory with a crucial par putt on the 18th. This dominant performance will see her overtake Jeeno Thitikul at the top of the Rolex Women's Golf Rankings.

This triumph marks Korda's second LPGA Tour victory of the 2026 season, following her win at the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions in January. The 18-under par total demonstrates her return to elite form, solidifying her status as a major championship contender with two majors remaining on the 2026 schedule.
