The pressure mounted on the 18th green, where Korda faced a short putt to secure the victory. Despite a moment of doubt and a near-miss that saw the ball lip out, it ultimately dropped, clinching the championship. This victory caps off a stellar 2026 season for Korda, characterized by multiple wins and remarkable consistency, reaffirming her position as a leading figure in women's golf.
