Yet two rounds, or 36 holes, away from possibly making history, Nelly Korda is an athlete who seems at ease with what could lie ahead.
Korda, the world No.1, was six shots off the lead after her first round.
At last month’s The Chevron Championship, Korda won her fifth consecutive title to join Annika Sörenstam and Nancy Lopez as the only players to win five in a row on the tour.
Nelly Korda has won 13 times on the LPGA Tour.
“I just felt like mentally, I just needed the rest,” Korda told ESPN.
