Nelly Korda Takes Lead in Women’s British Open
World No. 1 Nelly Korda showcased her talent by shooting a superb 4-under 68 in the second round of the Women’s British Open. Her flawless performance at St. Andrews earned her a three-stroke lead in her pursuit of a second major title this year.
Korda navigated the challenging Old Course with ease, carding birdies on key holes and remaining bogey-free. She impressed with birdies on Nos. 17, 18, 5, and 9, showcasing her remarkable skill and consistency. Korda’s total score stands at an impressive 8 under for the tournament, putting her in a strong position heading into the weekend.
The tournament has seen fierce competition, with England’s Charley Hull and defending champion Lilia Vu of the United States also vying for the top spot. Hull, the overnight leader after the first round, shot even par to tie with Vu for second place.
Korda, Vu, and Hull have formed a formidable trio, showcasing their skills and determination on the course. Korda’s victory at the Chevron Championship earlier this year solidified her status as the best player in women’s golf, and she is now positioned to add another major title to her impressive resume.
