Nelly Korda cites 1 regret from up-and-down Chevron week.
Nelly Korda cites 1 regret from up-and-down Chevron week.
Nelly Korda’s week at the 2025 Chevron Championship began with a champions’ dinner that celebrated her Czechoslovakian heritage and wowed guests with $4,000 caviar. It ended with a respectable title defense but also one regret about the first major week of the 2025 LPGA season.
A year ago, Korda won the Chevron as part of a five-wins-in-five-starts streak, but her 2025 tournament got off to a rocky start when she fired a five-over-par 77 in the first round. After seven holes on Friday, Korda sat well off the projected seven-over cut line. But the World No. 1 rallied, making six birdies in her final 11 holes to play the weekend and eventually finish in a tie for 14th, five shots behind winner Mao Saigo.
After Sunday’s final round at The Club at Carlton Woods, Korda reflected on an up-and-down week filled with gutsy play but not enough prep time to successfully defend her title.
