Korda Misses Major Hat Trick, Eyes Hall of Fame
29 Jun
Summary
- Nelly Korda finished T-8 at the KPMG Women's PGA Championship.
- She is two points away from qualifying for the LPGA Tour Hall of Fame.
- Korda plans to rest before competing in France and Scotland.
World No. 1 Nelly Korda did not achieve her goal of a third consecutive major championship win at the KPMG Women's PGA Championship held at Hazeltine National Golf Club. Korda finished the tournament in a T-8 position after a final round of 1-over 73, which included four bogeys and a double bogey on the 17th hole. She ended seven strokes behind the winner, Haeran Ryu.
Korda clarified that her frustration stemmed from her overall play during the week, not the missed opportunity for a historic streak. This result marks only the third time this year Korda has not secured a first or second-place finish. She is now preparing for a much-needed break before heading to France for The Amundi Evian Championship, followed by the ISPS Handa Women's Scottish Open.
Looking ahead, Korda has a significant opportunity to achieve a career Grand Slam if she wins the Evian Championship or the AIG Women's Open. Additionally, she is on the verge of qualifying for the LPGA Tour's Hall of Fame, requiring only one more major victory or two regular LPGA Tour wins to reach the necessary points.
