THE WOODLANDS, Texas – If Nelly Korda could go back and do something different at the Chevron Championship, she would’ve tried to get more reps in early week. It’s not easy to get from a 6 p.m. finish in L.A. to Texas. And with the champions dinner on Monday, Korda didn’t get a look at the golf course until she played in the nine-hole pro-am on Tuesday afternoon, when she couldn’t do any extra practicing.
The world No. 1 came out early on Wednesday and got some practice in before the course was closed due to dangerous conditions. With an early tee time on Thursday, she chose not to come back out later that afternoon when the course opened.
“At the end of the day, I mean, you’ve got to roll with the punches and you have to continue learning,” said Korda. “I just played the pro-am the front nine, so I didn’t get to chip, putt, see how the greens were releasing with this new pro-am protocol where we can’t chip or putt anymore, so not having that kind of sucked. But at the end of day, I did have the chance to play in the afternoon on Wednesday and I didn’t take it, so that’s on me.”
