Nelly Korda reclaims World No. 1 spot

Nelly Korda returned to the top of the world rankings, clinching victory at the 2022 Pelican Women's Championship on Sunday. The LPGA star won the event after it was shortened to 54 holes from the classic 72-hole format due to the underlying tropical storm Nicole in Florida.

Korda, who was in stunning form, rallied six birdies to challenge Lexi Thompson. The World No.1 came out on top, finishing 6 under 64 for a one-shot victory. Following the win, the golfer said that she has her eyes set on the Group Tour Championship.
