Ariya downs defending champ Korda to advance at LPGA Match Play
Afer trailing most of the front nine, Korda had battled back to ake a 1-up lead through 14 holes of a match she had to win, but she gave up the 15th hole with a bogey and Ariya won the 16th with a par to take the lead for good.
"Overall it's just so much fun to have chance to play with Nelly," said Ariya, who emerged from round-robin play with a perfect 3-0 record and will face South Korea's An Narin in the round of 16 on Saturday.
The quarter-finals will follow on Saturday afternoon.
Korda, tied...
