Nelly Korda overcomes triple-bogey on 17 to win Pelican Women's Championship in playoff

BELLEAIR, Fla. -- An epic duel between Nelly Korda and Lexi Thompson turned into a stunning meltdown by both of them. Korda at least managed to recover and win a four-way playoff Sunday in the Pelican Women's Championship.

Korda won for the fourth time this year on the LPGA Tour, none of the others this wild.

"I almost kind of lost faith," she said.

Korda fell out of the lead on the 17th hole at Pelican Golf Club by chopping her way to a triple bogey to fall two shots behind. She answered with an 18-foot birdie putt on the final hole for a 1-under 69 and got into a playoff when Thompson made a second straight bogey for 69.
