Nelly Korda is now a three-time major champion at the age of 27 after triumphing at The Chevron Championship.

Korda stormed to a stunning five-shot victory at Memorial Park in Houston, Texas, for her second win of the season and the 17th of her LPGA Tour career.

The American also won The Chevron Championship in 2024, three years after her maiden major victory at the Women’s PGA Championship.

Dame Laura Davies has now made a prediction about Korda after her latest success, with a specific reference to 10-time major champion Annika Sorenstam.

Dame Laura Davies thinks Nelly Korda will fall short of Annika Sorenstam

Four-time major winner Davies said on the Sky Sports Golf Podcast: “You can only judge people on what they have done so far.

“If she wants she has another five to 10 years at the very top.

“I am not sure anyone will ever reach Annika’s number of wins and majors, so I think Annika is a little bit out of range for her.

“But certainly she can pull up alongside Karrie Webb, Se-ri Pak, Lorena Ochoa.

“My goodness, what could she have done if she went on?

“Nelly has definitely got it all there, it just depends how much longer she plays.

“But at the moment her game is just at a slightly different level.

“She seems to have another gear to go to and she’s fun to watch.

“She’s not the most bubbly personality but you don’t have to be like that, your golf does your talking for you.”
