KAWAGOE , Aug 7 ― Nelly Korda won the gold medal at the Olympic women's golf today with a tense one-stroke victory to complete a United States sweep and secure another glittering prize for a royal family of sport.
Overnight leader by three strokes, the 23-year-old gave up a share of the lead to Japan's fast-finishing Inami on the 17th but the home favourite bogeyed 18, giving the American a one-stroke buffer as she shot for the final green. It continues Korda's annus mirabilis, having clinched her first major and the world number one ranking at the Women's PGA Championship in June.
The tournament was Korda's to lose as an early birdie extended her lead to four strokes but former world number one Ko made it interesting by charging out of the blocks. After tapping in for five to fall to 14-under with Ko and Ashok, a seething Korda tossed her putter at her bag and strode to the next tee.
