Defending champion Kim Hyo-joo won the LPGA Ford Championship on Sunday, seizing her second title in as many weeks as she again out-dueled American Nelly Korda.

Kim, who had set the LPGA 54-hole scoring record at 25-under on Saturday, fired a three-under par 69 for a 28-under total and a two-shot win over Korda at Whirlwind Golf Club in Phoenix, Arizona.
