Nelly Korda calls this year a roller coaster, a description that also happens to mirror how she won last year’s Pelican LPGA Championship. After a disastrous triple bogey from the fairway on the penultimate hole Sunday, Korda battled back to win in a playoff over Sei Young Kim, Lydia Ko, and Lexi Thompson.
The Pelican was Korda’s fourth LPGA title of the season, making her the most decorated American player since Stacy Lewis in 2012. Her 2022 season came to a sudden halt, however, after a blood clot was found in her left arm. She underwent surgery in the spring and missed four months of competition.
