It’s pretty annoying, but I played well the last day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “Obviously missed a couple of putts on the back nine, but it was quite windy and I hit the ball fantastic, so fair play to Nelly Korda for back-to-back wins.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Korda secured the win with a 34-inch par putt on the 18th hole, with the ball circling around the back lip before dropping in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “It’s just a dream to win here,” said Korda. “The golf course holds so much history and to have my name alongside so many great champions is a dream come true.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Korda has won the Women’s PGA Championship, two Chevron Championships and the US Women’s Open US Women’s Open final leaderboard -8 N Korda (US); -7 C Hull (Eng), G Lopez (Mex); -6 I-G Chun (Kor); -5 S-Y Kim (Kor) Selected others: -3 K Romero (US), N Hataoka; -2 M Stark (Swe), J Kupcho (US), +7 L Woad (Eng) World number one Nelly Korda won her first US Women’s […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12903],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-410560","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-12903"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/6gnx6dd.cc\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/410560","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/6gnx6dd.cc\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/6gnx6dd.cc\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/6gnx6dd.cc\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/6gnx6dd.cc\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=410560"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/6gnx6dd.cc\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/410560\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":410567,"href":"https:\/\/6gnx6dd.cc\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/410560\/revisions\/410567"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/6gnx6dd.cc\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=410560"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/6gnx6dd.cc\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=410560"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/6gnx6dd.cc\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=410560"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
