Nelly Korda: World No 1 looking to end wait for the seasonal tournament opening soon.

Nelly Korda has won six of her past seven starts, but remains in wait of her first U.S. Women’s Open title. Can she tick off another milestone this week?

She will take her 10th crack at the prestigious major at Lancaster Country Club in Pennsylvania this week. A winner of six of her past seven starts, Korda has never been in better form ahead of a US Women’s Open.

“I’ve definitely played some really solid golf,” she acknowledged. “This golf course is a beast. Off the tee, if you don’t hit it into the fairways, it sinks down into the rough. These greens are small and very, very undulated. “It’s a beast of a golf course.”

Korda has successfully tackled most of the challenges thrown her way on the course this year. She has won six of eight starts overall, including the first major of the year at the Chevron Championship.

“The only week that I haven’t had someone out was during Cognizant, and I just didn’t really hit it that well that week,” she said, referencing the T7 finish that snapped Korda’s record-tying streak of five consecutive victories.

“So making sure that my team is taking time for me as well and coming out and making sure that we’re all dedicated to each other has kind of really been the thing that has changed this year, because every event that I’ve been to and I’ve played in, I’ve had a coach

“It’s just going to be tough. No matter if you hit it higher or if you’re longer, I feel like the key out here this week is just hitting it straight,” she said. “It doesn’t matter if you’re short or long.

“You can get ahead of yourself, get lost in the moment. If you make a couple mistakes here and there sometimes it can get away from you, but it’s going to test every aspect of your game out there this week.”
