PLAYA DEL CARMEN, Mexico: Nelly Korda capped off a strong finish with a big drive and an 8-iron to 18 inches for eagle on the final hole Saturday, giving her another 5-under 67 that stretched her lead to three shots in the Riviera Maya Open at Mayakoba. At stake for the No. 1 player in women’s golf is chance to win back-to-back on the LPGA and become the first player since Annika Sorenstam in 2001 to start a season with six consecutive tournaments finishing no worse than runner-up. She has played in the final group in all six of her tournaments this year. Equally impressive is that Korda is coming off a win at major championship, going wire-to-wire in The Chevron Championship at Memorial Park, a big course for big hitters. El Camaleon is tight with trouble on both sides, and she’s navigating that just fine. “Even though I’m coming off a major win, I took Monday off to relax.

Korda completed an impressive wire-to-wire victory at Memorial Park in Houston, becoming the third player in the last 50 years to win a major championship after leading by multiple strokes after each round. “Honestly, having that big of a lead, it’s not easy,” Korda said. “It was definitely one of the hardest things I’ve had to do mentally.

Scottie Scheffler shot 5-under-par 67 and it was enough for a one-stroke victory in the Procore Championship on Sunday at Napa, California, proving to be a valuable tune-up for the Ryder Cup. Scheffler finished the tournament at 19-under 269, with second- and third- round leader Ben Griffin posting 70 in the final round and ending up at 18 under on Silverado Resort’s North Course. “I’m fortunate to be the winner this week,” Scheffler said. Griffin missed a birdie putt from about 6 feet away on the final hole that would have forced a playoff. “I gave myself a good chance,” Griffin said. “I was trying to make eagle, putt was just a little slower than I expected. I don’t know if I hit my line on the last, but I looked up and it looked like it was breaking pretty good to the left and I tried to play it straighter to right center.” Griffin and Scheffler, who was in the pairing in front of Griffin, were even at 18 under until Scheffler’s bogey on No. 11. Scheffler had birdies on Nos. 12 and 15, while Griffin’s string of nine consecutive pars was broken with a bogey on the par-4 No. 14 and a birdie on the next hole, a par-5. “I was chasing down some pretty talented guys on the leaderboard,” Scheffler said.
