Korda downs Kupcho to keep LPGA Match Play knockout hopes alive
Gulf Today
|April 05, 2025
World number one and defending champion Nelly Korda beat Jennifer Kupcho l-up on Thursday to keep alive her hopes of advancing to the knockout stage of the LPGA Match Play in Las Vegas, Nevada.
-
Korda survived what she called "very questionable" play coming down the stretch against Kupcho.
She went 2-up with a par at the 12th hole and remained 2-up despite a bogey at 15.
But Korda's bogey at the par-five 16th saw Kupcho claw back a hole before Korda closed out the win as they tied each of the last two holes with pars.
"Definitely don't have my best stuff right now," said Korda, whose victory at Shadow Creek golf course last year was one of her seven LPGA titles in 2024.
"That's the greatest thing about match play is even if you don't have your best stuff you have to grind it out."
