Nelly Korda’s Quirky Remark Emits Frivolous Persona Albeit LPGA World Demands Greatness From Her

Nelly Korda’s quest for five wins in a row has become a success. She has finally added the Chevron Championship to her pre-existing list of 4 consecutive wins. The LPGA sensation shot a final round 69 to secure her second major championship with a final score of 13-under-par, 2 shots ahead of runner-up Maja Stark.

But amidst the celebratory cheers, Korda has also been facing the rapidly increasing weight of high expectations to make a never-seen-before sixth consecutive win at the upcoming JM Eagle LA Championship. While uncertain about her next steps as she progresses to take on this “unexpected territory in the golf world,” Korda seems to be sure of one thing, she wants to cool down after this intense week by taking a “hot shower” and resting it out.

Additionally, Korda also has hopes attached to her to improve the state of the LPGA Tour. The women’s Tour seems to be suffering on several ends, but one that stands out the most is the inadequate broadcasting experience and omission of its important events by broadcasters such as Golf Channel. This has resulted in the TV rating of the overall game following rapidly.

Amidst the high-tension atmosphere that surrounds her, the 25-year-old star dunked into the ‘poppies pond’, cannonball style, to call an end to the rather perfect day at the Chevron Championship. This unexpected yet interesting move by the now-two-time major champ gave fans a peek into her quirky personality. Her child-like persona is something that has always shined through whether she is competing fiercely on the greens, or relaxing on a vacation. So, how could it not unleash after she won her second major!

Amidst her big leap on the victory mountain, former World No. 1 Stacy Lewis also had high hopes for her.

Stacy Lewis offers crucial advice to Nelly Korda

While Korda chooses to remain in the present moment, Stacy Lewis seems to think there’s more she can do for the LPGA Tour using her current position. In her view, Korda has a responsibility in this regard. She referred to how the 25-year-old should give the media more time every week, thus adding to the Tour’s existing image.

Her exact words were, “I think Nelly does have a responsibility. Continuing to play great golf, though, is number 1. That’s what helps out the most… She also, I would say, should do as much extra stuff as you can for us.” while referring to how she should give the media more time every week.

Considering how the final round of the Chevron Championship was made inaccessible by limiting the broadcasting experience to solely ESPN+, which was itself hurdled with many struggles, Lewis’s hard-hitting words do make sense. Do you think Nelly Korda will be able to bring much-needed change to female golf? Let us know in the comments.
