It came down to the final hole with the leading pair level — Green found the left rough after pulling her tee shot while Korda safely found the fairway. “Oh my gosh, six, I mean, I just can’t even really gather myself now after that head-to-head that Hannah and I had pretty much all day,” Korda said.“I feel like you never have your A-game throughout an entire tournament. You kind of have to grind through it even with your B, C, and D game. I definitely felt like I had my C and D game today. Didn’t really play at that well,” she added.

Korda matched Annika Sorenstam and Nancy Lopez for the all-time record win streak of five when she won last month’s Chevron Championship.
