Nelly Korda shoots 67 at Amundi Evian, despite two-way miss that finds sister Jessica
Nelly Korda shot 4-under 67 in the opening round of the Amundi Evian Championship, the LPGA’s fourth of five majors this season.
Despite being two strokes off the lead, Korda was anxious to get to the range Thursday afternoon in France and FaceTime coach Jamie Mulligan to fix her driver.
“I had [a two-way miss] and that’s never good on a tight Evian golf course with the rough being pretty thick,” she said.
One of those misses – though with an iron – was to the left on the par-3 14th at Evian Resort Golf Club. It flew over the head of her sister, Jessica, who was serving as an on-course reporter and was seated in a shaded area on a greenside mound.
A second miss came one hole later, when her drive at the par-4 15th flew right and landed, again, in Jessica’s area.
