Korda takes LPGA Thailand title for 1st win since 2015

American Jessica Korda fired a 5-under-par 67 in the final round to collect her first title since 2015 at the LPGA Thailand yesterday.

The 24-year-old, who was making her season debut after a jaw surgery during the offseason, recorded an emphatic wire-to-wire victory with 25 birdies and three eagles on the week, finishing 25-under overall. Korda racked up gains on 11th, 13th and 15th before sinking a 25-foot birdie on the 17th hole to cruise to a fifth LPGA title. Thailand鈥檚 Moriya Jutanugarn finished second at 21-under alongside American Lexi Thompson, who remained within touching distance of Chinese Feng Shanshan鈥檚 world No. 1 ranking. Feng carded six birdies in a bogey-free 66 to share fifth spot with Jutanugarn鈥檚 younger sister Ariya. Australian Minjee Lee recovered from an early bogey to finish seven shots off the lead at fourth on the leaderboard at the Siam Country Club in Chonburi.
