Nelly Korda Wins Riviera Maya Open With Record 17-Under 271

The win completes a six-event run of top-two results that matches Annika Sorenstam's 2001 start.

Overview

  • Korda closed Sunday with a 3-under 69 to finish at 17-under 271, a 72-hole tournament record, and win by four shots at Mayakoba.
  • Her week featured 60 straight holes without a bogey and only two bogeys overall, with the second coming on the last hole after a lost tee shot.
  • Thailand's Arpichaya Yubol finished second with a 70 on her 24th birthday, while China's Yu Liu took third with a 69.
  • The lighter field helped players secure breakthroughs, as Brianna Do earned a career-best fourth and amateur Maria Jose Marín placed fifth to gain points toward LPGA status before the tour’s priority list reshuffle.
  • The victory is Korda’s third of 2026 and 18th on the LPGA, and multiple outlets report she will skip this week’s Mizuho Americas Open before returning May 14–17 at the Kroger Queen City Championship.
