Korda claims 5th LPGA title

Nelly Korda became the first two-time winner on the LPGA Tour this season, closing with a 5-under 67 on Sunday for a two-stroke victory in the Meijer LPGA Classic at Grand Rapids, Mich. The Gainbridge LPGA winner in February, Korda finished at 25-under 263 to break the tournament record at Blythefield Country Club. She shot a career-best 62 on Saturday to take a three-stroke lead into the final round. The 22-year-old American, ranked No. 4 in the world, won her fifth tour title. She rebounded after missing the cut two weeks ago in the U.S. Women’s Open. She won the Gainbridge LPGA in Florida in the second event of the year after sister Jessica took the season-opening tournament. Leona Maguire of Ireland was second after a 66. Former University of Arkansas golfer Gaby Lopez turned in a 5-under 67 on Sunday to finish at 14-under 274. Stacy Lewis (Razorbacks) shot a 68 on Sunday to finish with a 13-under 275.
