After an intense third round where Nelly Korda scored an impressive 6-under, the LPGA caught up with her for a quick interview on LPGA’S stories. When asked to describe her round in one word, Nelly confidently said, “Satisfying.” The interviewers probed her further about the choice of the word, and she explained, “The putts are dropping, so I think that’s the most satisfying thing about a round. You can hit it close out here, but at the end of the day, if the putts aren’t dropping, it’s not going to be satisfying.”

It’s clear that Nelly’s putting prowess played a significant role in her success during the round, enabling her to capitalize on scoring opportunities and climb up the leaderboard. With her infectious smile and insightful remarks, Nelly showed that a golfer’s joy goes beyond just hitting the ball.
