World No.1 Nelly Korda captured her third title of 2026 with a four‑shot triumph at the Riviera Maya Open in Mayakoba. A flawless final round of three‑under 69 lifted her to 17-under for the weekend, sealing a 69‑65 finish over Thailand’s Arpichaya Yubol. The win matches Annika Sörenstam as the only players to avoid finishing worse than second in their first six tournaments this season.

Yubol could not replicate her stunning Saturday 66, posting a two‑under 70 on Sunday and falling short of Korda’s lead. England’s Jodi Ewart Shadoff rallied with a three‑under 69, sharing sixth place with Spain’s Carlota Ciganda. After the victory, Korda said she was simply enjoying the competition and grateful for her supportive team, staying focused.

Maintaining a streak of never dropping below second places, Korda now sits atop the season leaderboard and tightens her grip on the Race to the Cup. The LPGA Tour shifts to Michigan next week for the Mizuho Americas Open, with all four rounds slated for live Sky Sports coverage. Korda’s dominance leaves her as the clear favorite heading into the next event for the upcoming tournament.
