LONDON: Nelly Korda secured her first victory of 2023 by four strokes in the Aramco Team Series presented by the Kingdom’s Public Investment Fund in London.
It was the American’s second Aramco Team Series title following her win at Aramco Team Series – Sotogrande last year. The 24-year-old underlined her liking for the innovative format that combines team and individual play by leading from start to finish at Centurion Club.
Korda was tied at the top with Charley Hull after the first round, and then on the second day, she played brilliantly in stormy conditions to open up a five-shot lead.
Hull gave chase on the final day, a week on from her tied-second display in the US Women’s Open. The English ace fired a sizzling 68 but was forced to settle for second best again, thanks to Korda’s consistency and class.
