Korda has struggled to regain her best form after making her long-awaited return to the LPGA circuit. She pushed herself to the utmost for the best outcomes throughout the Amundi Evian Championship and the Aramco Team Series. Although she won the individual championship at the Centurion Club and finished in the top 10 at the Evian Resort Golf Club, both achievements weren’t easy to get. Despite these victories, which helped her regain her No. 1 ranking, she understood the need for a sabbatical to avoid stressing her arm and back.
Korda’s main goal this week is to rebuild her strength in time for the season’s fifth Major Tournament. In the middle of her preparations, she finds comfort in treasured moments spent with loved ones, particularly her loving pets, which she obviously enjoys to the fullest.
