LOS ANGELES - World No. 1 Nelly Korda marched to her third victory in three LPGA tour starts on March 31, firing seven birdies in a flawless seven-under par 65 to win the Ford Championship in Arizona by two strokes.

Korda became the first LPGA pro to win three consecutive starts since Thailand’s Ariya Jutanugarn in 2016. She is two shy of matching the LPGA record of five consecutive victories, first accomplished by Nancy Lopez in 1978 and matched by Annika Sorenstam in 2004-05.
