South Korea’s Ko Jin-young became the first player to retain the HSBC Women’s World Championship with a two-shot victory in Singapore.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The world number five, who is still struggling with a wrist injury that badly affected her 2022 season, hit a three-under-par 69 to win on 17 under.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Nelly Korda, ranked second in the world, also shot a 69 to finish second.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fellow Americans Danielle Kang (68) and Allisen Corpuz (69) were joint third on 14 under with Japan’s Ayaka Furue (67).<\/span><\/p>\n

Ko, who shot successive 65s in rounds two and three, took a two-shot lead into the final round at Sentosa Country Club and birdied the first to extend her advantage and knocked in another on the fifth.<\/span><\/p>\n

Korda had three successive birdies from the third hole to close to within one but a bogey on the sixth halted her momentum and when Ko birdied the eighth, her lead was back to three.<\/span><\/p>\n

She then recovered from a bogey at the 11th with a birdie at the par-five 13th – a hole Korda bogeyed – and finished with five pars to close out a fine win.<\/span><\/p>\n

The former world number one burst into tears after securing the $270,000 (\u00a3224,000) first prize.<\/span><\/p>\n

“It’s a great honour to defend this title and I had a great week, and a long week as well, with all the rain,” she said.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Before this week I worked really hard. I knew I was defending so I wanted to get one more trophy. It paid off and I’m really happy.”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
