Nelly Korda world No 1 again after winning Chevron Championship

• American led from first round at Memorial Park

• Korda leads rankings for first time since August

Nelly Korda won the Chevron Championship on Sunday with a performance worthy of her return to the No 1 ranking in women’s golf.

Holding a five-shot lead at the start of the final round, Korda was efficient as ever and no one could get closer than four shots all afternoon at Memorial Park. She closed with a two-under 70 for a five-shot victory to capture the third major of her career.
