"She won with an 8-under 64 on Saturday, an astonishing round that was roughly nine shots better than the field average in bitter cold and gusts that approached 40 mph. Korda said it was among the best three rounds she ever played. Korda finished just before the LPGA halted the third round when wind blew Youmin Hwang's golf ball off the 17th green."
"The LPGA planned on finishing the third round Sunday morning and playing the final round, but temperatures were below freezing in Central Florida as the wind remained strong and the ground brittle. The LPGA said the forecast was just as bad for Monday and chose to make the event 54 holes. Korda finished at 13-under 203 for her 16th career victory."
Nelly Korda captured the Tournament of Champions with a 13-under 203 total after the LPGA shortened the event to 54 holes because of severe wind and freezing temperatures. Korda carded an 8-under 64 in the second round, a performance roughly nine shots better than the field average, and called it among her best three rounds. The third round was halted when wind blew Youmin Hwang's ball off the 17th green, and conditions remained too dangerous to resume play. Amy Yang finished second at 10 under after par-par on the closing holes, and Brooke Henderson placed third.
