Nelly Korda has become the first two-time winner on the LPGA Tour this season, closing with a five-under 67 on Sunday for a two-stroke victory in Michigan.
The Gainbridge LPGA winner in February, Korda finished at 25-under 263 to break the Meijer LPGA Classic record at Blythefield Country Club.
She shot a career-best 62 on Saturday to take a three-stroke lead into the final round.
"Actually, really enjoyed today," Korda said.
"Honestly, there has been times where on Sundays I really like haven't enjoyed it, like the stress kind of ate me and I didn't stay in the moment and enjoy playing golf on a Sunday in a final group.
"But today I really enjoyed it and it was actually a really good battle between Leona and I. She definitely kept me on my toes."
The 22-year-old American, ranked No.4 in the world, won her fifth tour title.
She rebounded after missing the cut two weeks ago in the US Women's Open.
