AMERICAN star Nelly Korda is projected to return to the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings No. 1 position for the fifth time in her career following her playoff victory at the Fir Hills Seri Pak Championship yesterday.

In her first start since winning the LPGA Drive On Championship in late January, Korda carded rounds of 72, 67, 67 and 69 at Palos Verdes Golf Club for a nine-under-par 275 total. The 25-year-old edged compatriot Ryan O’Toole with a birdie on the first extra hole to pick up her 10th career LPGA Tour title.
