GUILDERLAND – Lilia Vu felt the frustration rising in her gut, and she knew she had to make a quick attitude adjustment as she headed to the par-3 ninth tee during the final round of the Symetra Tour’s Twin Bridges Championship Sunday at Pinehaven Country Club.
JOHNS CREEK, Ga. (AP) Nelly Korda powered her way to her first major championship Sunday with a performance worthy of her new status as the No. 1 player in women’s golf.
Korda nearly holed out with a 7-wood from 243 yards for a tap-in eagle, and the 22-year-old American seized control by using her length from that graceful swing for another eagle that sent her to victory in KPMG Women’s PGA Championship.
She finished with a 15-foot par putt for a 4-under 68, giving her a three-shot victory over Lizette Salas at the Atlanta Athletic Club. At 19-under 269, she tied the Women’s PGA record to par last matched by Inbee Park at Westchester Country Club in 2015.
