Korda and Ko aim to be in driving seat at Ford Championship

LOS ANGELES — Nelly Korda is off to her best start of any LPGA season and back atop the world rankings, but she wants to be boring at this week's LPGA Ford Championship.

The 25-year-old American, the daughter of 1998 Australian Open tennis champion Petr Korda, will be among the favorites in the new tour event at Seville Golf and Country Club in Gilbert, Arizona.

Korda, the reigning Olympic champion, reclaimed the world No 1 spot by capturing her 10th career LPGA title last week at Los Angeles.
