The low scoring on the LPGA continued at the LA Open where Jessica Korda followed up her opening round seven-under 64 with a flawless second round 65. The 28-year-old, who won the season’s first event at the Diamond Resorts Tournament of Champions, looks good for a wire-to-wire win at Wilshire Country Club this week.
Getting your first win on the LPGA Tour is hard. But if you ask 31-year-old Marina Alex, the second one is even more so. Alex began the final round of the Palos Verdes Championship presented by Bank of America three shots back of 54-hole leader Hannah Green and dug deep on the final day, posting a five-under 66 to beat Rolex Rankings No. 1 Jin Young Ko by a single stroke at ten-under overall.
It’s the last major of the year, the U.S. Women’s Open. It has been an awful year but at least all but one of the women’s majors has survived, the Evian Championships being the one casualty. It will be a brave man or woman who will bet against the winner coming from South Korea.

In 2019, Sei Young Kim led the CME Group Tour Championship after 54 holes and went on to win her ninth career victory and the largest winner’s prize in women’s golf history. One year later, Kim is in the same position heading into the final day in Naples, Florida, as she leads by one stroke at thirteen-under after a third-round 67.
On the eve of the final round of the U.S. Women’s Open, Jin Young Ko wasn’t even in the CME Group Tour Championship field. Following a blistering six-under 66 the number one player in the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings captured a five-stroke victory and earned the title of Race to the CME Globe champion.

Like a perfectly-timed finish by a thoroughbred racehorse, A Lim Kim delivered her challenge to storm to victory at the 75th U.S. Women’s Open.

World number one, Jin Young Ko was the runaway winner of the Golf Writers Association of America (“GWAA”) Female Player of the Year. The South Korean star was the overwhelming choice with Nelly Korda way back in second place.
