LOS ANGELES – Nelly Korda drilled a birdie putt at the first play-off hole to beat Ryann O’Toole in the LPGA Seri Pak Championship, where the American’s second title in as many starts secured her return to world No. 1.

Korda hadn’t played since beating Lydia Ko in a play-off to win the Drive On Championship in Florida seven weeks ago. However, after shaking off some rust early in the week, she battled through the “brutal” windy conditions at Palos Verdes Golf Club to emerge with the 10th LPGA title of her career.
