Nelly Korda captured the 2026 US Women's Open on Sunday, building a wide lead in the Rolex ANNIKA Major Award race.
The world No. 1 closed with a 2-under 69 to finish at 8-under at Riviera Country Club, just one stroke ahead of Charley Hull and Gaby Lopez.
Nelly Korda Extends LPGA Leaderboard Dominance
Korda now holds two major titles this season, after lifting the 2026 Chevron Championship trophy.
That puts her in position for the Rolex ANNIKA Major Award, which recognizes the LPGA player with the best record across all five majors. With three events left, it's unlikely for another competitor to catch up.
Beyond the award race, Korda now sits two points from LPGA Hall of Fame eligibility, holding 25 of the requisite 27.
A Career Grand Slam is also in play. Korda needs to win either July's Amundi Evian Championship or AIG Women's Open to earn the honor.
