Entering the final round with a nine-shot lead, 16-year-old Sierra Brooks found herself being chased by Nelly Korda in the final round

-Story by Julie Williams of Golfweek ORMOND BEACH, Fla.

Maybe it was just the first time she had allowed herself to notice them. Brooks, a 16-year-old from Sorrento, Fla., became the next name to join the prestigious list, but not as easily as observers might have expected, given the size of the cushion. Sentimentality drove Brooks’ chaser Nelly Korda even harder. Korda, also 16, was trying to win the title that big sister Jessica Korda, now a three-time LPGA winner, took home in 2010.
