Vidhi Lakhawala Wins Third Nelly Invitational by One Shot at The Concession
Vidhi Lakhawala closed at 1-under 215 to win the third edition of the Nelly Invitational by one shot over a tie for second at The Concession Golf Club.
Vidhi Lakhawala closed the 2026 Nelly Invitational presented by Chevron with rounds of 69-75-71 for a 1-under 215 total, winning by one shot at The Concession Golf Club in Bradenton, Florida. Zoe Cusack and Grace Carter tied for second at even-par 216, with 2025 champion Shauna Liu and Amelie Zalsman tied for fourth at 1-over 217.
Six players shared sixth place at 2-over 218, including Nobelle Park, Ann-Sophie Bourgault, Jude Lee, and Raegan Denton, with Iris Lee rounding out the top 10 at 3-over 219. The 66-player field saw three withdrawals over the course of the week.
Now in its third year, the Nelly Invitational was launched by LPGA star Nelly Korda at The Concession Golf Club, named for Jack Nicklaus's famous 'concession' putt to Tony Jacklin at the 1969 Ryder Cup. Chevron joined as presenting sponsor in 2025, and the champion earns a sponsor exemption into the Chevron Championship, an LPGA major.
