Nelly Korda keeps winning and making it more exciting than it needs to be. She won the Fir Hills Seri Pak Championship after making bogey on the last two holes to fall into a playoff. Korda responded with a 12-foot birdie putt on the first extra hole to beat Ryan O'Toole. The victory returns the 25-year-old Korda to No. 1 in the world.
Nelly Korda holds up the trophy after winning the final round of LPGA’s Fir Hills Seri Pak Championship golf tournament Sunday, March 24, 2024, in Palos Verdes Estates, Calif. Nelly Korda hits from the fourth tee during the final round of LPGA’s Fir Hills Seri Pak Championship golf tournament Sunday, March 24, 2024, in Palos Verdes Estates, Calif.
Korda, playing for the first time since that Drive On win at the end of January, seized control by smashing a fairway metal up the hill on the par-5 14th. The ball caught a slope at the back of the green and rolled down to 18 feet, and she made the eagle putt. O’Toole hit 7-iron from the right rough to about 15 feet and her birdie putt burned the edge of the cup.Korda decided to skip the entire Asia swing, giving her nearly two months off. She felt rusty at the start and got sharper as the week went on. It helped that her swing coach, Jamie Mulligan, works down the road at Virginia Country Club in Long Beach and was able to work with her after each round.
Making it tougher were brutal conditions of wind and cold. O’Toole was wearing ear muffs when she holed her clutch putt at the end of regulation.“The weekend was brutal,” she said. “It’s also the beauty of the game. It’s fun to be able to play in these conditions and be a little more artistic.”

College Admissions ScandalThe March 10 episode kicks off with Ted Danson asking Larry David to help the co-star of his play, who is Loughlin, get into David’s country club. Even though she served prison time for paying $500,000 to get her daughters into USC on false pretenses, Loughlin’s membership is approved after David gives a rousing speech to the club board. As Loughlin becomes a regular at the club, she starts to show her true colors. First, she flaunts a special flag that allows her access to the fairway on a carts-only day. She claims that she earned her disabled status by claiming she has Epstein-Barr. The next time David plays golf with Loughlin, he learns that she was able to secure a better tee time by tipping the starter $50. She later lies about her score on a particularly difficult hole, even though her ball ended up in the woods. “You had a good lie, all right,” he mumbles as she walks away. In 2020, Loughlin and her husband, fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, agreed to plead guilty to conspiracy charges in connection with admissions scandal at USC.
