For Nelly Korda, this was a most imperfect 10. The No. 1 player in women's golf had a shocker of a start in the U.S. Women's Open when she made a 10 on her third hole. Korda hit into the water three times on the par-3 12th hole. The pin was cut to the front of the green near a stream. Korda hit her tee shot into a back bunker.
Nelly Korda hits her tee shot on the 18th hole during a practice round for the U.S. Women’s Open golf tournament at Lancaster Country Club, Wednesday, May 29, 2024, in Lancaster, Pa. LANCASTER, Pa. — Nelly Korda took a 10 on her third hole of the U.S. Women’s Open on Thursday when she hit three short-game shots into the stream in front of the par-3 12th green.
Korda walked off the green and removed her visor, placing her hand over her forehead for a few seconds before walking over to the next tee. A video crew kept the camera fixed on the walking scorer as “+1” was changed to a “+8" next to her name. Korda dropped a third time, hit a pitch that flew to the hole and rolled about 8 feet by. She missed the putt and took a septuple-bogey 10.
