Top-ranked Korda cruises to T-Mobile Match Play final and will face Maguire
==========

Nelly Korda, the top-ranked player, defeated Narin An 4 and 3 in the semifinals of the T-Mobile Match Play, putting herself one match away from her fourth straight LPGA Tour victory. She will face Leona Maguire in the final. Korda is aiming to become the first LPGA Tour player to win four consecutive starts since Lorena Ochoa in 2008. The record is five consecutive wins, set by Nancy Lopez in 1978 and matched by Annika Sorenstam in 2004-2005. Korda has taken seven weeks off and a victory this weekend would be her third consecutive in a scheduled event. Maguire, who has a 3-1 record against Korda in team matches for Europe in the Solheim Cup, described Korda as the best in the world right now and expects a tough battle in the final. The temperature during the tournament was 42 degrees Fahrenheit, but the winds were reduced to a breeze and temperatures were in the 60s for the afternoon play.
