30 Jul
Summary
- World No. 1 Nelly Korda focuses on control at AIG Women's Open.
- Korda aims for a major win to move closer to Hall of Fame.
- Home favorite Charley Hull also competes for her first major.
World No. 1 Nelly Korda is focused on maintaining control as she competes in the AIG Women's Open, the final major of the season held at Royal Lytham & St Annes. This approach is crucial for navigating the unpredictable nature of links golf, where good shots can still result in difficult lies.
Korda, who has achieved considerable success including major wins earlier in the season, views this tournament as a key step towards the LPGA Hall of Fame. A victory here would also help overcome the disappointment of a previous near-win at the Women's Open.
Adding to the intrigue, English golfer Charley Hull is also in contention, seeking her maiden major title. Korda expressed confidence in Hull's potential to become a major champion, highlighting the positive impact such a win would have on the sport.
The field also includes Lydia Ko and Haeran Ryu, with Ko having previously won the Women's Open at St Andrews, the same venue where Korda narrowly missed victory. Ryu enters the competition aiming for a third consecutive major win.
