England’s Charley Hull suffered more major heartbreak as world number one Nelly Korda claimed her first Women’s US Open ***** le.
Hull moved to the top of the leaderboard early in the final round at the Riviera Country Club in Los Angeles, but finished one shot behind Korda on seven under par – her fifth runner-up spot in major championships.
Mexico’s Gaby Lopez finished alongside Hull in second, with South Korea duo In Gee Chun and Sei Young Kim a shot further back.
“It’s just frustrating,” said Hull. “Another second place, I think that’s five second-place finishes I’ve had in majors now.
“It’s pretty annoying, but I played really well the last day. Obviously missed a couple putts on the back nine, but it was quite windy and I hit the ball fantastic, so fair play to Nelly Korda for back-to-back wins.
