World number one Nelly Korda claimed her seventh win of the season in The Annika as Charley Hull missed out on back-to-back titles.
Hull, who won for the first time since 2022 in Saudi Arabia a fortnight ago, took a one-shot lead into the final round at Pelican Golf Club but could only card a closing one-over-par 71.
Korda was two over par for her round after 10 holes, but then reeled off five birdies in a row to return a 67 and finish 14 under par, three shots clear of Hull, Zhang Weiwei and Jin Hee Im.
"After taking some time out with an injury it feels great to be back out here and there's nothing like being in the hunt," Korda, who won six times in her first eight starts of 2024, said.
"There’s nothing like the adrenaline feeling on the back nine and being in contention. I love it so much."
