What was the hardest part during the tournament for Nelly Korda?

After double-crossing a couple of iron shots during the game this week, Korda couldn’t believe her own performance. And according to her reaction to her shots, it has probably been a long time since something like this happened to the golfer.

“Probably my iron play. I was very, very, very disappointed with it this week. And my putting. I think my putting. I made some good saves this week… So making the birdie putts, that’s kind of where I struggled and that’s where I need to improve.” But being the optimistic human she has always been, Korda said she was extremely excited about working on her skills.
