LONDON, United Kingdom — Nelly Korda produced a dominant display to win the Individual title at the Aramco Team Series — London.

The World No. 2 had led from the first day and had a five-shot lead coming into the final round at Centurion Club.

And the Olympic champion began the day with a birdie on the first but soon dropped a shot on the sixth and was back to even par for the round.

However, she soon moved into the red once again with a birdie on the 12th before she rolled in a birdie at the last to seal a round of 71 (-2) and win with a total of 11-under-par.

“It was so much fun this week,” said Korda, who also won the Individual title at the 2022 Aramco Team Series — Sotogrande.

“I got to play in some very interesting weather and got to hit shots that I don’t necessarily get to hit all the time. It was an amazing walk with my partners this week, my team and lastly Jason (McDede) as well.”

“I am hoping that I can take this momentum into the next couple of weeks, I have Evian and the AIG Women’s Open coming up and hopefully I have learned a little bit about the weather this week and I can take that momentum into the next two big events.”

“I knew Charley (Hull) was going to make a run for it, I think everyone was trying to. It’s tough to be the one out front and who everyone is trying to get. I just stuck to my game and took it one shot at a time. As boring as it sounds, it worked.”

“I’m going to see my grandparents tomorrow; I have a couple of friends here right now, so we’ll celebrate after. I’ll be very full tomorrow.”

England’s Charley Hull finished in second place on seven-under-par after firing a round of 68 (-5) on the final day.

The three-time LET winner rolled in three birdies in four holes on the front nine but dropped a shot on the ninth to make the turn in 35 (-2).

Hull rolled in three further birdies on her back nine for a round of 68 and to seal her second consecutive second-place finish.

“I played pretty well today, I was pretty happy,” said the 27-year-old.

“It was very windy out there. I just felt very tired this week after last week, it kind of hit me yesterday but I got a good night’s sleep last night. It was good fun out there and nice to be playing in front of the home crowds.”

“I feel really good, I feel like my game is in good shape. Second last week and second this week, roll on Evian. It feels like a good week at the office, but at the same time it sucks because you just keep knocking on the door but hopefully a win is around the corner.”

South Africa’s Nicole Garcia finished in third place on

five-under-par after a final round of 72 (-1) which included three birdies and two bogeys.
