Korda celebrates winning with Coach Mulligan

Nellie Korda (USA), the world number one in women's golf, continued her 'endless run' by winning five consecutive tournaments and even holding a major tournament trophy.

Korda won the LPGA Tour Chevron Championship (total prize money of $7.9 million) held at The Club Carlton Woods (par 72) in Woodlands, Texas, USA on the 22nd (Korean time) with a final total of 13 under par 275 strokes.

Having won all five competitions she has participated in since January of this year, she has reached the top for the second time in a major competition following the KPMG Women's PGA Championship in June 2021. 토토사이트 순위

Korda is the third person to win five consecutive tournaments on the LPGA tour, following Nancy Lopez (USA) in 1978 and Annika Sorenstam (Sweden) in 2005.

Korda, who continues his overwhelming momentum by participating in 6 competitions this year and winning 5 times out of 9 competitions held this year, earned $2,424,216 (approximately 3.34 billion won) in prize money this year alone.

In the second half of the fourth round on this day, he maintained a relatively comfortable lead, including leading by four strokes at one point, but Korda confessed in an interview after winning, "It was the last nine holes that felt the longest in my life."

He explained that it was not an easy win, saying, "In the second half of the year, I began to be conscious of winning a major championship. Winning a major championship was something I had dreamed of since I was young, so now I can breathe a little more."

Korda reached the top of a major once in 2021, but this win has a different meaning.

In March 2022, he took a 3-month hiatus due to symptoms of a blood clot, and last year he had to take a 2-month break due to back pain.

Last year, he did not win a single victory on the LPGA tour.

Born in 1998, she is now in her mid-20s, but given the nature of women's golf, where many players reach their prime even in their late 20s, it was difficult to be certain of Korda's comeback.

Korda, who went through the dark tunnel of injuries, also said in an interview that day, “2021 (when I won my first major) was a truly incredible year.” “But last year was especially difficult, and people asked me, ‘Can you win a major again?’ I looked back and said, “I had to listen to it.” 슬롯사이트

“But I continued to work hard on and off the course, and I am grateful to my caddy Jason McDudd and my teammates for being with me through the difficult moments,” he said.

Korda's family is famous as a 'sports family'.

Her father, Petr Korda, won the Australian Open tennis singles title in 1998, and her older sister, Jessica Korda, also won a total of six LPGA tour wins. Her older sister Jessica was runner-up at the 2022 Chevron Championships.

His younger brother, Sebastian Korda, has won the ATP Tour once, and his mother, Regina, competed in tennis for the Czechoslovakian national team at the 1988 Seoul Olympics.

Her father Petr won the major title twice, in doubles at the Australian Open in 1996 and singles at the same tournament in 1998, and this time, Nelly also won her second major title.

At the LPGA Tour LA Open, which opens in Los Angeles, California, USA on the 25th, Korda will attempt to set a new record for the most consecutive wins on the LPGA Tour with 6 consecutive wins.

He said, "For now, I hope to enjoy this situation and continue our winning streak if possible," and added, "I'm also thankful that we've achieved five consecutive wins."

Although it is still too early to make predictions due to the nature of the sport of golf, Korda is mentioned as the strongest gold medal candidate at the Paris Olympics, which opens in July this year. He won a gold medal at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics. 안전 토토사이트
