Nelly Korda faced a challenging start at the Chevron Championship, finishing her opening round with a score of 77. Despite her talent and experience, Korda's performance was marked by inconsistency on the course. She managed to hit 11 greens in regulation and found eight fairways, but her putting proved to be a significant hurdle, as she required 33 putts during the round.
The pressure of the championship seemed to weigh heavily on her, as she navigated the course with difficulty. Korda's ability to hit greens indicates her striking capabilities, yet the high number of putts reflects a struggle with her short game. As one of the top competitors in women's golf, expectations were high, and the opening round did not meet them.
Korda will need to regroup and find her rhythm in the subsequent rounds if she hopes to make a comeback and contend for the title. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see how she responds to this early setback.
