ST. ANDREWS, SCOTLAND – Nelly Korda was playing such good golf in the first half of 2024 that her rivals were starting to hope she wouldn’t turn up for tournaments.
“I played in LA a couple weeks ago and she pulled out,” No. 40 Georgia Hall said of the world’s top-ranked player. “I texted her and just said, ‘Thanks for giving us a chance.’”
One of the greatest winning streaks in the history of women’s golf sure has come to end, however, heading into this week’s British Open — the fifth and final major of the year.
