The title is Korda's seventh LPGA victory this season, adding more ink to one of the most successful LPGA years in over a decade. This is the first time since Yani Tseng in 2011 that someone has won seven times in a year, and Korda is the first American to accomplish the feat since Hall of Famer Beth Daniel did so in 1990.

World number one Nelly Korda captured her seventh LPGA title of the season and 15th career crown on Sunday, firing a three-under par 67 to win the Annika tournament.

Nelly Korda made five consecutive birdies on the back nine Sunday to win her seventh LPGA event of the year. Korda, who started the final round at The Annika trailing Charley Hull, was 2 over on the day through 10 holes at Pelican Golf Club, two off the pace. She then birdied Nos. 11-15 to create a two-shot advantage with three holes to play.

Nelly Korda holed two long birdie putts to start her recovery from a six-shot deficit to Charley Hull, cutting the lead down to one shot Saturday going into the final round of The Annika.

The 26-year-old American was playing her first event since being sidelined by a neck injury in October. Read more at straitstimes.com.

Korda, already locked in as LPGA Player of the Year, last played Sept. 22 in Ohio. She was planning to play twice during the Asian swing until a minor neck injury kept her at home.

World Number One Nelly Korda has claimed her seventh title of 2024 in the ANNIKA tournament, and in doing so has made LPGA Tour history. The 26-year-old is now the first American since 1990 to win seven plus times in a season.
