Nelly Korda's Run For Three Straight Majors Ended And Haeran Ryu Is The New Boss

WHOA. You guys watching the KPMG Women's PGA this weekend? What an absolute THRILLER! Haeran Ryu snatched her FIRST ever LPGA major title, taking down some serious legends in the process. If you blinked, you missed history unfolding. Seriously, the Emerald City was buzzing about this one, even if it wasn't our local teams in action. This is why we love sports, right? When someone new steps up to claim their moment!

Ryu's Ascent, Korda's Heartbreak

Let's talk about the big story first. Haeran Ryu, making her major title debut, absolutely owned the KPMG Women's PGA. This is her first major win, and what a way to do it! She earned a huge chunk of that $13.5 million purse. But, man, the drama didn't stop there. All eyes were on Nelly Korda, trying to make history with a THIRD straight major win. Can you even imagine that? That's GOAT-level stuff. But it wasn't meant to be. Korda, despite being a major contender and chasing Ryu right up to the end, fell short. She had a seriously tough day on the greens at Hazeltine, and you know it was rough because she vented to her sister, Jessica, afterward. Even Brooke Henderson was in the hunt, chasing Ryu too. Play was even suspended earlier in the tournament, adding to the tension as Korda was trying for that third straight major. This is what makes majors so intense, that kind of pressure cooker moment.

Poston made a SEPTUPLE BOGEY, a 12, at TPC River Highlands! That's just insane! Oh, and for all you golf history buffs, Tiger and Phil are among nine past champions who aren't playing the 2026 British Open. Man, the golf season is delivering! So what's next?
