the olympic champion needed a birdie at the last to avoid a playoff with 2020 us open winner bryson de chambeauer to card a record 21—under par, holding off a charging dechambeau and the norwegian viktor hovland. a huge moment in the the career of schauffele, who had developed a reputation for failing to close out tournaments from winning positions in the past. i have become very patient. the people closest to me know how stubborn i can be. i said earlier, it is a result. it is awesome, super sweet, but when i break it down i am just proud of how to handle certain moments on the course today, different from the past. while xander schauffele was closing out his first win in two years, world number one nelly korda was claiming her sixth title of 202a. korda won the mizuho america's 0pen by one shot ahead of the australian hannah green. it's her sixth victory in seven starts, which includes a major title at the chevron championship in texas last month. she will now set her sights on the us open at the end of the month. you never have fewer egg game throughout an entire tournament. you have to grin
