Jessica Korda delivered one of the season’s sharpest finishes in Mobile when she won the 2014 Airbus LPGA Classic at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail’s Magnolia Grove complex. The tournament was played on the Crossings Course and brought the LPGA Tour to Mobile for four rounds in late May.
Korda closed with a bogey-free 7-under-par 65, finishing at 20-under 268. She birdied four of her final five holes and edged Sweden’s Anna Nordqvist by one shot. The finish, detailed in contemporary tournament coverage, gave Korda her second LPGA victory of the 2014 season.
The winning score reflected how aggressively Korda played the course down the stretch. Her final nine included six under par, a run that separated her from a tightly packed leaderboard that also included Michelle Wie, Charley Hull and Catriona Matthew.
For Mobile, the tournament was a national sporting showcase at Magnolia Grove. The LPGA’s first-round materials identified the event as the Airbus LPGA Classic presented by JTBC at the Crossings Course, placing international players and television coverage at a local public-golf destination.
Korda’s 2014 victory remains a concise marker in the city’s professional-golf history: a one-stroke win secured by a late charge on a Mobile course. The event is preserved here as an archival sports report rather than a current tournament announcement.
