Unstoppable Nelly Korda Eyes Victory at U.S. Women’s Open!
Nelly Korda, the dominant force in women’s golf this season, is set for her next challenge at the U.S. Women’s Open. The 25-year-old has clinched six LPGA Tour titles in eight starts in 2024, a feat last achieved by Inbee Park in 2013 and Lorena Ochoa in 2008 before June 1.
Korda’s success in varied conditions—cold, rain, wind, and sunshine—highlights her unflappability. Now a 14-time LPGA Tour winner, Korda's peers expect her to be a strong contender this week.
However, Korda remains focused and grounded. "We just wanted to get one game and extend the series," she said, emphasizing her goal to maintain her identity amidst rising expectations. Korda aims to stay true to herself, balancing her golf career with personal life.
Having first played in the U.S. Women’s Open in 2013, Korda has dreamed of winning this prestigious event. Despite past disappointments, she remains determined. Ranked No. 1 in the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings, she leads in several statistical categories, including strokes gained total (+2.90).
Facing the challenging Lancaster Country Club, Korda knows the importance of staying in the moment. "This golf course is a beast," she said, acknowledging the tough conditions and the need for a strong mental game. Her focus is on the quality of her play, not her past victories or rankings.
Korda’s exceptional form and mindset make her a formidable contender for the Harton S. Semple trophy this week.
