“I’m just enjoying myself and I love the competition. I love travelling to places like Mexico, all over the world. I’m just having fun,” Korda said, following a closing round of 69.<\/p>\n
The 27-year-old American opened up a seven-shot lead early in the final round which started early to avoid thunderstorms.<\/p>\n

“Golf humbled me on the last hole and I made my first bogey on the weekend,” she said.<\/p>\n
