Nelly Korda wins the US Women’s Open, holding off Charley Hull and Gaby Lopez to claim her first US Women’s Open title. Across the final day, Korda plays a steady closing round and finishes one shot ahead of Hull, who ends as runner-up for the fifth time in a major championship. The Guardian reports that Korda’s final-hole pressure continues into the last moments: her putt on the 18th green curls around the cup before dropping in, following a close second putt that grazes the edge of the hole. Korda’s victory is described as her second consecutive major win, and it represents her fourth major title overall. The reported first-place prize is $2.5 million. Hull, who is also seeking her first major title, narrowly misses out again, finishing just behind the world number one. Other coverage frames the result in terms of Hull’s repeated near-misses at major events, while placing Korda’s performance and winning margin at the centre of the final outcome.
