The female golf world was not untouched by it, and the LPGA sensation Nelly Korda got her number position again after winning Pelican Women’s Championship. Post her best win, she burst into tears talking about her tough year. Last year, Korda won the championship, and this year she was able to defend her title by carding 6-under 64 and defeating Lexi Thompson.

She couldn’t contain her happiness, and her overwhelmed condition led her to burst into tears during the interview. But after a roller coaster year, the Olympic gold medalist regained her no. 1 position in the Rolex world golf ranking. The fans could not hold themselves back and swamped the comment section with heartfelt messages.

LPGA posted her picture saying she returned to number 1, like never leaving. It was indeed a glorious moment for all her fans. However, a few people thought that claiming the number one position was not suitable, as the LPGA member did not win any major titles this year. They did not find it justifying to reach number one just after one event victory.

However, fans were supporting their favorite golfer, and they proved why Korda deserved to be number one. Because the ranking is cumulative of two years, and the female pro golfer had 2022 rough but not 2021. This year was challenging because of the blood clot in her arm, but she is back again now. Let’s see what fans had to say about her win.

Therefore, fans backed the golfer’s number 1 status.

How did Korda reach number one again?

Korda defended her title on Sunday by winning Pelican Women’s Championship and was drenched in two bottles of champagne post her win. In the final round, the pro golfer finished the game at 14-under 196. 

Even though 54 holes shortened the tournament due to Hurricane Nicole, Korda still succeeded. She defeated Thompson by just one shot and reached number one, surpassing Thai teenage golfer Atthaya Thitikul.
