World number one Nelly Korda wins the US Women’s Open, securing her first title in the championship after a tight final in Los Angeles. Across the final round, Korda holds her nerve to finish at the top of the leaderboard by a single shot. Charley Hull, who is bidding for her first major title, falls just short despite a strong weekend performance described by outlets as a significant comeback. The final margin is close enough to leave the outcome decided on the last holes, with reports highlighting the pressure on Korda’s closing putt.
The victory also extends Korda’s run of major success, with ABC noting it is her second consecutive major championship. Other coverage confirms Korda finishes ahead of Hull, while also reporting that Gaby Lopez is among the players challenging for the title. All accounts emphasize the narrow difference between the contenders and frame the finish as a thriller determined late in the round.
