Former world number one, Nelly Korda is reaping rewards with her excellent performances so far. Captain Stacy Lewis has extended this opportunity to the LPGA cover girl, adding to the event’s excitement.

Nelly Korda is set to play in the Saturday match alongside her teammate, Ally Ewing, with their tee time scheduled for 1:40 local time. They will be facing off against the European pair of Charlie Hull and Leona Maguire, setting the stage for an exciting match.

Korda, a standout golfer, will be pitted against the silent assassin Leona Maguire from the European team.

A senior golf writer from Golf Week tweeted about Nelly Korda and Allisen Corpuz’s dominant performance, noting that they won their match convincingly with a score of 5 and 3, stating, “Nelly Korda and Allisen Corpuz cruise, winning 5 and 3. Stacy found a keeper there.”

The win must have left Lewis in anticipation of trying out Korda once again, as she made the list for the evening fourballs.
