Korda on a par

AMERICA’S Nelly Korda added another chapter to her family’s incredible sporting pedigree in Australia with victory in the Women’s Australian Open.

Korda carded a final round of 67 at the Grange Golf Club in Adelaide to finish 17 under par, two shots clear of Korea’s Ko Jin-Young, who surged through the field with a closing 64, the lowest round of the week.

Korda’s sister Jessica won the same tournament seven years ago, while their father Petr won the Australian Open tennis singles title in 1998 and brother Sebastian won the boys’ singles title in Melbourne last year.

England’s Jodi Ewart Shadoff, who shared the lead after a first round of 65, finished in a tie for eighth.

❑ NEW ZEALAND’S Ryan Fox made the most of an early reprieve to claim his first European Tour title with victory in the World Super 6 in Perth.
