Korda was on course for victory but bogeys in three of her final five holes resigned her to a play-off hole, which she edged with a birdie.

England’s Charley Hull carded a final-round 67 to finish 11th on 10 under.

Korda, younger sister of fellow golfer Jessica, who finished in the four-way tie for 11th, claimed her maiden LPGA Tour victory at the event last year.

It was the world number seven’s third win of 2019.
