Nelly Korda has another trophy she can add to her collection.
Korda, the third-ranked female golfer in the world, won the individual title Saturday at the Aramco Team Series event at Sotogrande in Spain. A final round 5-under 67 was enough to capture the title by three shots. She finished at 13 under and won $73,955.
The Aramco Team Series features team and individual competition and has five events this year. The first two were in Bangkok and London. The next is in New York. The event is co-sanctioned with the Ladies European Tour. It’s Korda’s second LET victory.
Jessica Korda led heading into the final round, but a 77 on Saturday landed her in a tie for second with Pauline Roussin and Ana Pelaez Trivino. Jessica’s team won the team competition, which concluded Friday, at 33 under.
“I haven’t won this year, so it feels nice to get a win under my belt, but I’m also very sad as it wasn’t the day Jess was expecting,” Nelly said. “I guess we were hoping for a bit more of a battle going down the stretch, but it’s golf and that sometimes happens.”
