Nelly Korda sends a delicate message in front of us open women’s open

On the letter, Nelly Korda would seem to be Prototype player to flower in the opening of American women. The examination made together by the USA Match Korda’s strengths. It hits it long, high and right, and its best should make it better equipped to overcome the field into the toughest test in Golf.

So far, it has not been so.

In the nine beginnings of his career as a professional, Korda has lost three cuts and has only carded two ends of Top-10, both came to two of the easiest openings of American women in the latest history. Last year, Korda arrived at the Lancaster Country Club as a heavy favorite after starting the year on a historic heater that she saw her win six times in eight starts, including a major. Her open hopes of American women were broken by her third hole in the tour as she made a 10 in the 12th hole. She signed for an 80 first round, which was the same result that she shot in the last round of Open Womens of 2023 in Pebble Beach.

Open Women’s Open, up to this point, has hit the number 1 player in the world, exposing a flaw in her prevailing game.

like Zephyr Melton of Golf notedKorda has not won a tour, including her two main victories, where she had to withdraw and punched Pars to overcome the field. She has been double -digit figures under all, but two of her career victories. She won a 9-year-old tour, and the other was a match event.

The ability is one thing, but Korda has not shown the ability to scratch and catch her way through the most accurate golf test.

“Lots of landing,” Korda said on Tuesday when asked about her relationship with US Open women. “I mean, it’s the biggest test in the golf game. It definitely tested me a lot. I love it.

“At the end of the day, which is why we do what we do is play these golf courses in these conditions, to test our games in every respect. Neither our games and our thoughts.”

So while the professional women’s golf reaches Erin Hills this week for 2025 US Open WomenThe first question in everyone’s mind is: Will Nelly Korda, Nelly Korda, the undisputed number 1 player in the world, finally pass a test that she seems born to defeat?

This has been another type of season for cords compared to last year’s tour at Tour de Force.

She hasn’t won yet. She completed the race in the champions tour Hilton Grand Vacations and was tied to the fifth in her final start at Mizhuo Americas Open. It has ended within 25 best in everyone, but a start this season. It ranks second in LPGA in total stroke obtained (2.40) and outside tee (1.03). The victories have not yet come for Corda, but she believes that the early part of the season has been a great lesson in patience.

It is appropriate, therefore, that her greatest teaching of 2025 can be completed by being her greatest wealth in Erin, Wisconsin.

Cord is aware of her wars in the opening of women in the US.

Last year’s rapid appearance in Lancaster and how it happened of it certainly remains burned in her mind. As you do 80 in Pebble Beach.

But in a year determined by patience, Nellly Korda sounds like a golf player finally ready to enter the open women’s boiler and not melt. The one who fully understands the teachings of the past accepts its wounds caused by the USA and is better for them, and can embrace the questions that Erin Hills will do and be the last to stand.

“I think the more you get in the pressure moments and the more you are in quarrel, you learn more about yourself and how to handle those situations,” Korda said on Tuesday. “Yeardo year, something has tested me, and every year, I learn a little more about myself and how to treat myself in some situations. So yes, I think it’s about putting myself in that position.

“But at the end of the day, you are the one who put yourself there, and you have to be grateful to be in that place, and you have to enjoy the pressure too.”

It would be fair to pass the brief introspection of Korda as the podium conversation in front of the tournament. But for a golf player who rarely plunges deep into her process, this felt like a delicate hint that she has identified her issue. Since those years of slipping at this event have provided that understanding of how to avoid an open flow of US women.

Korda knows that all eyes will be on Thursday when turned off with Charley Hull and Lexi Thompson at 1:25 afternoon. For all her achievements, Nelly Korda has not been able to be Nelly Korda at the Golf’s Marquee event.

“If you want to feel it, you will feel it,” Korda told the pressure and is expected to fight and win. “But I think what is really important is just a kind of climbing in your game plan and being really focused on what is doing the current time, and that really helped me.”

Four days in Wisconsin can change everything, and nelly cord sounds ready finally Change her open narrative of women in the US.
