Nelly Korda Heats Up at U.S. Women’s Open, Sends Warning to Field
ERIN, Wis. — Nelly Korda’s history at the U.S. Women’s Open has been rocky, with more missed cuts than memorable finishes, but her performance on Friday signaled a potential shift in that narrative. Despite a shaky past at this championship — including a 10 on the scorecard at last year’s event — Korda entered this week determined to reset the script. After opening with an even-par 72 that was hampered by cold putting despite stellar ball striking, she remained upbeat, confident her putts were tracking well even if the results didn’t show it.
