World number one Nelly Korda (26) is hoping to rediscover her stunning early season form as the women’s British Open returns to the famous old course at St. Andrews this week.
Korda won six times in seven starts on the LPGA Tour between January and May, including her second major at the Chevron Championship.
But the American’s best finish since was a tie for 22nd at the Olympics.
Korda missed the cut at both the US Open and PGA Championship and tied for 26th at the Evian Championship in the season’s other three majors.
“I think recently what’s been happening to me is I make a mistake and then I make another mistake on top of it,” Korda said after a poor finish to her final round at the Paris Games took her out of contention to defend the gold medal she won in Tokyo.
“I need to control that bit of it where I don’t compile all the mistakes, which that’s what I’ve been kind of doing recently.”
