Nelly Korda Wins Riviera Maya Open for Third LPGA Title of 2026

Her third win in six starts cements a rare top-two streak to open the season.

Overview

  • Korda, who closed Sunday with a 3-under 69, finished 17-under 271 to win by four over Thailand's Arpichaya Yubol.
  • The victory was her third of 2026 and extended her run to six straight top-two finishes, matching Annika Sorenstam’s 2001 start.
  • Her steady play included a 60-hole bogey-free run, and she made only two bogeys all week at El Camaleon in Playa del Carmen.
  • She set the tournament’s 72-hole scoring record by surpassing the previous mark of 12 under.
  • After back-to-back wins, the world No. 1 said she will skip next week’s event to take a short break.
