Nelly Korda finished at 14-under par to win the Mizuho Americas Open by one shot over Hannah Green, at the Liberty National Golf Club in New Jersey. Korda and Green went shot for shot until the final hole, where Green found trouble and bogeyed the final hole to miss forcing a playoff. The victory is Korda’s sixth of the LPGA season, in only eight starts. She has won six of her last 7 tournaments played.
