Nelly Korda's Remarkable Comeback Triumph

This past weekend, the LPGA Tour was the stage for an exhilarating showdown as Nelly Korda emerged victorious over Lydia Ko in a closely contested playoff at the LPGA Drive On Championship. The tension was palpable as the tournament approached its conclusion, with Ko appearing to have the upper hand. Starting the day at nine under par, Ko's consistent birdies brought her to eleven under as she completed her final round.

 

Korda, who was ahead with thirteen under par by the end of the second-last round, encountered difficulties, dropping to eight under with only two holes remaining. In a stunning turnaround, Korda achieved an eagle on the seventeenth and a birdie on the eighteenth, tying with Ko at eleven under par and pushing the competition to a playoff.

 

The playoff unfolded over two holes, with both players revisiting the eighteenth hole. Initially, it seemed Korda might clinch the hole after Ko's errant approach shot landed near the hospitality area. Korda's precise shot left her with a promising ten-foot putt. However, Ko's exceptional chip shot and Korda's missed birdie putt resulted in both players heading to a second playoff hole. There, both aimed right off the fairway; Ko ended up on the left side of the green, while Korda overshot the green.

 

Under increasing pressure, Ko's long putt fell short, and her next putt narrowly missed, ending with a three-putt bogey. Korda capitalized on this with a successful up-and-down, clinching the win and concluding a dramatic final round. Korda praised the unwavering support from fans, stating, "It was definitely not a boring day. The support I received was unbelievable. I'm incredibly thankful for the turnout and the encouragement, which truly kept me going when I thought I had no chance."
