Korda pips Hull to win maiden US Women's Open

Article excerpt

World number one Nelly Korda claimed her first US Women's Open title at Pebble Beach, edging England's Charley Hull by a single stroke in a tense final round. Korda, already dominant in women's golf with multiple majors, captured the championship that had eluded her despite her consistent excellence. Hull mounted a strong challenge but fell just short, finishing as runner-up. The one-shot victory adds another significant credential to Korda's already impressive résumé and marks another major championship triumph for the American golfer.
