Nelly Korda returned to the top of the world rankings after claiming a dominant five-shot victory in the LPGA Chevron Championship. It is Korda's second Chevron title in three seasons and ensures she leapfrogs Jeeno Thitikul in the rankings, after the Thai missed the cut. The American equalled the event's 54-hole scoring record on Saturday but fell two shots short of the tournament record of 20 under par. "That was a hard weekend," Korda told NBC Sports. "Honestly, having that big of a lead, it's not easy. It was definitely one of the hardest things I've had to do mentally. I have an amazing support system. An amazing family who are right behind me. An amazing caddie who is on the bag and I'm just happy to get it done." Korda takes her tally of majors to three, after also winning the Women's PGA Championship in 2021.
