Nelly Korda made waves at the AIG Women’s Open with a surprising drive on the 9th hole at the historic Old Course. Positioned 299 yards from the green, Korda managed to land her first swing impressively close. However, her reaction was priceless, as she appeared disappointed with the contact, despite the shot’s fortunate outcome.
Fans watching the tournament were quick to chime in, many amused by Korda’s expression and impressed with her skill. One fan humorously remarked, “Good thing she didn’t hit it good,” while others shared lighthearted comments about their own golfing experiences.
Korda’s performance at the Women’s Open has been strong, especially considering a season filled with ups and downs. Earlier in the year, she claimed six wins in eight starts, including a major victory at the Chevron Championship, only to falter at the U.S. Women’s Open and the Women’s PGA Championship. Reflecting on her journey, Korda emphasized the importance of learning from setbacks, stating, “The best part of the downs is that you learn so much about yourself.” Currently tied for sixth, she has three more rounds to prove her resilience and end her season on a high note.
