The South Korean marred her card with her only blemish on 11 but she quickly regained her advantage with another birdie on 13.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hsbcgolf.com\/womens\/womens\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/GettyImages-1471327699_1678008919-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9833\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hsbcgolf.com\/womens\/womens\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/GettyImages-1471327699_1678008919-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Heavy rain once again disrupted play in the afternoon but it did little to stop the South Korean from marching towards another grandstand finish when she returned to par her last three holes after play resumed slightly more than an hour later.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt&#8217;s a great honour to defend this title again. This week has been too long for me but I\u2019m feeling so happy. I didn\u2019t want to lose to the other players, especially today. So, it was really hard to keep my poker face on the course even as I tried to stay focused.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had a tough year last year, and I was battling with injuries and loss in form. Mentally it\u2019s tough too. So, this win is especially important and it&#8217;s going to be a big momentum for me in my life,\u201d said Ko.<\/p>\n<p>Korda, who started the final round two shots back of Ko in second place, fired three successive birdies starting from the third hole to pile the initial pressure on Ko.<\/p>\n<p>However, her bogeys on holes six and 13 caused her to lose ground with Ko. She tried to surmount another late charge with a further two birdies on 14 and 18, but they were not enough for Korda to capture her ninth LPGA title this week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m obviously a little disappointed with today. I didn&#8217;t play well and couldn\u2019t really put up a battle as much as I wanted to. I made silly mistakes here and there. I\u2019m going to take a couple of days off before going to work on my swing,\u201d said Korda.<\/p>\n<p>The battle for supremacy on the fairways of the Tanjong course at Sentosa Golf Club also saw American Danielle Kang, the second round leader, staged a strong comeback by charging out of the gates with four birdies in her front-nine.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hsbcgolf.com\/womens\/womens\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/GettyImages-1471346818_1678009233-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9843\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hsbcgolf.com\/womens\/womens\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/GettyImages-1471346818_1678009233-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1706\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Another birdie on the par-five 13 gave Kang a glimmer of hope as it brought her to within one shot of the lead then. However, a bogey on 16 eventually put paid to any hopes of a fightback for the 30-year-old, who continued to remain upbeat despite another near-miss.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI left it all out there, but we got a lot of good things down this week, and I&#8217;m happy about that. I&#8217;ve been testing balls and wedges like every other week, and I feel like it&#8217;s finally getting together. So, I&#8217;m actually proud of the way I played,\u201d said Kang.<\/p>\n<p>Singapore\u2019s Amanda Tan meanwhile signed off with rounds of 76, 74, 73 and 73 for an eight-over-par 296 &#8211; the best result a local has ever recorded at the HSBC Women\u2019s World Championship.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI must say I didn&#8217;t putt as well as I hoped for, but yeah, it was still a good week. There are a lot of things I can take out of this week like my putting. More importantly, I have to keep working hard and not forgetting to be easy on myself too,\u201d said Tan.<\/p>\n<p>The HSBC Women\u2019s World Championship featured 17 of the world\u2019s top 20, including all of the world\u2019s top five.<\/p>\n<p>This year marked the 15th edition of the HSBC Women\u2019s World Championship and remarkably, of the 14 previous winners, 12 are Major champions, lending yet further credibility to the player\u2019s claim that this is \u2018Asia\u2019s Major.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>South Korea\u2019s Ko Jin-young became the first player to successfully defend her HSBC Women\u2019s World Championship title when the world number five closed with a three-under-par 69 for a two-shot victory over Nelly Korda on Sunday. &nbsp; &nbsp; Japan\u2019s Ayaka Furue signed off with her week\u2019s best score of 67 to share third place with [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9835,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9828","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorised"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.7 -
