Nelly Korda is trying to be golf's first back-to-back Olympic champion. Xander Schauffele missed on his opportunity at Le Golf National. He was coming off a British Open title. Korda is the favorite in the women's competition and can only hope she is trending in the right direction. The world's No.
Nelly Korda , of the United States, hits from the eighth tee during a practice round for the women’s golf event at the 2024 Summer Olympics, Monday, Aug. 5, 2024, at Le Golf National in Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, France. Nelly Korda , of the United States, hits from the seventh tee during a practice round of the women’s golf event at the 2024 Summer Olympics, Monday, Aug. 5, 2024, at Le Golf National in Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, France.
Korda lived out hers at Kasumigaseki Country Club three years ago. She was bummed to not get the full Olympic experience at the Tokyo Games, delayed by one year by the COVID-19 pandemic with restrictions on going to other events. “I didn’t really know what emotions I was going to have until I stood on the stage” she said. “As a kid, I watched so many athletes and all their raw emotions on that podium when their flag goes up and the national anthem . And when I finally got to do it myself, there was a massive rush of emotions that go through me.”“The highest my heart rate was all day was actually on the podium,” she said.
