Nelly Korda Fires 64 to Take LPGA TOC Lead as High Winds Force Suspension

Officials stopped the third round when gusts blew balls off Lake Nona’s 17th green, with play set to resume Sunday morning in freezing conditions.

Overview

  • Nelly Korda posted an 8-under 64 in frigid, gusty weather to reach 13-under 203 and the clubhouse lead at the season-opening Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions.
  • Amy Yang sits at 10 under with two holes left, including the exposed par-3 17th, while Lydia Ko and You Min Hwang are 8 under with holes to finish.
  • LPGA rules official Sue Winter cited unfair conditions on specific holes—particularly the 17th—when suspending play at 4:19 p.m. ET.
  • Brooke Henderson carded a 66 to climb to 7 under, as co-leader Lottie Woad slid to 3 over for the day through 16 holes to sit eight back.
  • The LPGA said the third round will resume and the final round will begin concurrently at 10 a.m. Sunday; the 39-player, 72-hole no-cut event also features a separate amateur competition.
