The daughter of former Czech tennis player Petr Korda thus equaled the record for consecutive victories on the American circuit, which she now shares with her compatriot Nancy Lopez (1978) and Swedish great Annika Sorenstam (2004-05).
Korda, the current world No. 1, won the Chevron Championship, held at The Club at Carlton Woods in The Woodlands, Texas, with a cumulative score of 275 strokes (13 under par) and a two-stroke advantage over the second-place finisher, Swedish golfer Maja Stark.
At 25 years old, the golfer from Brandenton, Fla., celebrated her second major crown and the 13th LPGA Tour victory of her career. She was also the winner of the Olympic gold medal in Tokyo in 2021.
