American Nelly Korda overhauled England’s Charley Hull on the back nine to win her third LPGA Annika title.<\/b><\/p>\n

The world number one started the final day one shot behind Hull, who had led from Thursday’s opening round at the event, which is named in honour of Sweden’s 10-time major champion Annika Sorenstam.<\/p>\n

But Korda had five birdies in a row from the 11th to move two strokes ahead of her rival with three holes to play at Pelican Golf Club in Florida.<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old held her nerve to par the last three holes and finish with a round of 67 and a total of 14 under.<\/p>\n

A dropped shot by Hull, who had been chasing back-to-back titles, on the 17th hole saw her drop out of contention and she finished with a 71 and a share of second on 11 under alongside China’s Weiwei Zhang and Korea’s Jin Hee Im.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
