After a neck injury sidelined the world No. 1, she's trying to finish the season strong with the Race to the CME Globe title.
Even though Nelly Korda is having a historic season, she knew there were going to be both highs and lows.
In the last 10 months, the world No. 1 claimed five straight events—joining Nancy Lopez and Annika Sörenstam as the only LPGA players to do so—including a major at the Chevron Championship. Korda also wrapped up LPGA Player of the Year—But a bump in the road came near the closing stretch of the season. In October, the 26-year-old hurt her neck in practice and was forced to withdraw from the LPGA's Asia swing.
Korda hopes to finish the season by winning her first Race to the CME Globe, the LPGA's seasonlong title. The penultimate event of the year, the Annika, is at Pelican Golf Club in Belleair, Fla., close to where Korda grew up.“I haven't really been playing too much golf,” she said. “I think I've been playing for the past week and a half.
