The final round of the Chevron Championship, the first of the LPGA's five majors, concluded today. Taiwan's Hsu Wei-ling finished with a four-day total of 3-over-par 291, tied for 55th place. American star Nelly Korda claimed her 3rd career major title with a winning score of 270.
With a total purse of $9 million, the tournament saw participation from Taiwanese players Hsu Wei-ling, Peiyun Chien, and Yani Tseng. However, Tseng, the 2010 champion, withdrew after the first round. Hsu delivered a solid 72 in the opening round but followed with three consecutive rounds of 73.
In the final round, Hsu had few birdie opportunities, recording only one birdie on the par-5 14th hole alongside two bogeys. Despite a strong driving accuracy of 88%, her iron play was less precise with a 66% greens-in-regulation rate, taking 120 putts over four days.
Nelly Korda maintained her lead from the previous rounds to win comfortably by 5 strokes, continuing the tradition of jumping into the course pond. At age 27, Korda now has 17 LPGA titles and has demonstrated remarkable stability throughout her career.
