LPGA Tour: Nelly Korda comeback in vain as Hyo-Joo Kim holds on to win Fortinet Founders Cup in California

Hyo-Joo Kim held off the challenge of world No 2 Nelly Korda to clinch her eighth LPGA Tour title with a one-shot victory at the Fortinet Founders Cup in California.

South Korean Kim took a five-shot lead over Korda into the final round but that was erased after 10 holes as Korda notched six birdies after a second-hole bogey.

However, the American carded six pars and two bogeys from that point - including dropping a shot at 17 after three-putting - and Kim clung on to secure a wire-to-wire win with a score of 16 under, despite bogeying two of her final three holes.

The 30-year-old said after her closing one-over 63 at Sharon Heights, which featured two back-nine birdies: "I enjoyed every single day, but this course was pretty tough."
