Nelly Korda was playing such good golf in the first half of 2024 that her rivals were starting to hope she wouldn’t turn up for tournaments. It's all changed for the world's top-ranked player heading into the Women's British Open at St. Andrews.
Nelly Korda , of the United States, throws her ball to her caddie to clean it before putting on the 11th green uring the final round of the women’s golf event at the 2024 Summer Olympics, Saturday, Aug. 10, 2024, at Le Golf National, in Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, France. ST. ANDREWS, Scotland — Nelly Korda was playing such good golf in the first half of 2024 that her rivals were starting to hope she wouldn’t turn up for tournaments.
After a run of five straight victories from January to April amid a tear of six wins in seven starts on the LPGA Tour, Korda missed the cut in three successive events –—including in two majors — for the first time in her career and was outside the top 20 at both the Evian Championship and the Olympic Games in Paris.
The Old Course should provide a stern test for the best players in the world because of the rain and strong winds — potentially more than 30 mph — that have been forecast for Thursday and Friday. Korda, whose only top-10 finish in seven British Opens was a tie for ninth in 2019, said it was important to “stay present.”
