Korda Rallies Late as Erin Hills Challenges Top Contenders at U.S. Women’s Open
Nelly Korda overcame a rocky front nine to stay in contention at the U.S. Women’s Open, carding a 1-over 73 on Saturday at Erin Hills. The world No. 1 found herself five shots off the lead after a string of early bogeys, but three birdies on the back nine—capped by a dramatic six-footer on the 18th that circled the cup before dropping—helped her finish the day at 4 under, three strokes behind leader Maja Stark.
