Korda pips Hull to major glory in US Women's Open thriller

World No 1 Nelly Korda snatched a dramatic victory at the US Women's Open as Charley Hull's wait for an elusive maiden major continued despite a historic weekend comeback in California.

Korda lived up to her billing as pre-tournament favourite by claiming a one-shot win at Riviera Country Club, posting a two-under 69 to finish on eight under and hold off a congested major leaderboard.
