Jessica Korda from the United States won the 2015 Sime Darby LPGA Malaysia Golf Championship to clinch her first LPGA Tour title of the year.

The 22-year-old daughter of former Czech tennis professional Petr Korda concluded the tournament with a six-under 65 score today for a total of 18-under 266 for the tournament.

She was four strokes ahead of New Zealand's Lydia Ko (66), United States' Stacy Lewis (67) and defending champion, China's Feng Shanshan (66) who finished in a three-way tie for second place at 14-under.

In today's round, she started off strongly with five birdies but her only blemish came when she dropped a bogey at the par-four 11th hole.

However, Jessica who was only four-years-old when her father won the Australian Open Tennis Grand Slam title in 1998, managed to recover with two birdies at the 16th and 18th holes.

Jessica who was in tears after birding the final hole, received the trophy from Youth and Sports Minister khairy Jamaluddin and pocketed US$300,000 (about RM1.24 million) for her feat.

"Just to win again is amazing, especially after the year I have had," said Jessica who claimed her fourth LPGA Tour title of her career.

Since turning professional in 2010 and joining the LPGA Tour in 2011, Jessica has won three LPGA competitions, namely the Women's Australian Open (February, 2012), Pure Silk-Bahamas LPGA Classic (January, 2014) and Airbus LPGA Classic (May, 2014).

World number two, Lydia was hot on her American rival's heels with six birdies, but a bogey on the 13th spoiled her hopes for a third consecutive victory following back-to-back wins at the Canadian Pacific Women's Open and Evian Championship last month.

Meanwhile, for defending champion Shanshan, it was her second time ending up on the runner-up podium in the tournament.

"I wasn't really looking at the leaderboard but I kind of knew that somebody was way ahead...My goal today was to get to 15-under and I got to 14. I think I played very well," she said.

Among the tournament's highlights on the final round was by Morgan Pressel (USA) who shot a hole-in-one on the par-three 17th hole.
