“I can finally breathe now. That back nine felt like the longest back nine of my entire life,” Korda said.The 25-year-old American fired a three-under par 69 in the final round to finish on 13-under 275 after 72 holes. “There’s a key in the simplicity that I have. I honestly take it a shot at a time,” Korda said. “It has been working so far. I feel like sometimes golf can get overcomplicated.”At 10, Korda missed the green with her approach but chipped in for birdie to reach 14-under and lead by four.

“I can finally breathe now and enjoy the moment because I was definitely really nervous. I feel sick to my stomach.” Korda, however, stumbled with a bogey at 15 and when Coughlin closed with a birdie and Stark birdied the par-3 17th, Korda’s lead was again down to two.
