Social Media Reacts To Nelly Korda's Historic Victory At Chevron Championship
The world number one's most recent victory and her incredible run of form has got a lot of people talking


It’s a tradition like no other – jumping into the pond after winning the Chevron Championship. Nelly Korda didn’t let anyone down, and took the plunge after recording yet another victory.
Given how easy the World No.1 has been making the game look in recent weeks, Korda could have been forgiven for teeing off on the final day in a swimsuit.
This was the American’s fifth tournament victory in a row, and her second Major Championship title.
“That felt like the longest back nine of my entire life,” she said. “It was a little bit of a grind on the back nine, but I'm happy to get the win.
“I was definitely starting to feel it on the back nine, just the nerves setting in. It's a major. It's everything that I've always wanted as a little girl, to lift that major trophy. As I said, I can finally breathe now and just enjoy the moment because I was definitely really nervous. I feel sick to my stomach.”
Nancy Lopez (1978) and Annika Sorenstam (2005) are the only other players to have won five consecutive LPGA events.
After Korda’s incredible feat, people were quick to heap praise on the 25-year-old, who finished in a style with a birdie on the final hole.

European Ruder Cup captain and former World No.1, Luke Donald, who knows a thing or two about consistency, was quick to applaud Korda.

Now this would be an exciting match: Scottie Scheffler versus Korda, two players who are dominating the game at present.

Unreal stuff from @NellyKorda 🏆 What a golfer! Makes it look so easy when she is in full flow. Could watch the golf swing all day 👌April 21, 2024
Just awesome that we have two dominant world No. 1s and both are Americans in their 20s. What Nelly just did is exactly what Scottie did last week—come into major week with all the expectations, all the attention and deliver a dominant performance. That's what greats do.April 21, 2024

The question now is whether Korda can become the first woman ever to win six LPGA Tour titles in a row.
