After a disappointing Woman’s Open this year, American golfer Nelly Korda has unapologetically reacted to her performance on social media.

What position did Nelly Korda finish at the Woman’s Open

After a string of good performances, the 2020 Tokyo Olympics Gold medalist fell off, finishing tied at 41st along with fellow American Marina Alex and South Korean Na Rin An. After securing a T8 finish at both the Amundi Evian Championship and the Dow Great Lakes Bay Invitational, her exploits weren’t enough to follow the progress she had made at the Muirfield.

“Muirfield Kicked My A**. I’ve always loved a good humbling experience & links golf does that to you often. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to play at such an amazing venue. Time to grind,” she mentioned in her latest Instagram post.

The course at Muirfield is among the most difficult challenges in all of championship golf. Among all the other things, it is a traditional links course. For a non-European, the links course provides a unique challenge considering their anomaly, especially in America.

While most regular courses are constructed by designers, a link course is not manufactured and maintains the original lay of the land. It is naturally set along the shores, which means the weather conditions remain inherently challenging. It is said that golfers are forced to work with the natural elements of a link course, something which isn’t a concern in a golf course.

Nelly Korda will be seen next in the ISPS Handa World Invitational, scheduled from August 11 to August 14. The tournament will be played at the Galgorm Castle Golf Club in Northern Ireland. Despite a low finish at the Open, Korda remains at World No. 3 in the Women’s world ranking. Jin Young Ko leads the way, followed by Australian golfer Minjee Lee in second place.

What happened at the 2022 Woman’s Open?

In dramatic circumstances, South African golfer Ashleigh Buhai won the 2022 British Open, ahead of South Korean golfer In Gee Chun. After securing a monumental lead of 5 strokes en route to her score of 64 in the third round, Buhai lost ground on Sunday while In Gee Chun tied her for T1 to force the issue for a playoff round. The sudden-death playoff was held over the 18th hole, and it wasn’t till the fourth try that we had a winner. Buhai held her nerve for a par as she won her first major title, which is incidentally her first LPGA Tour victory as well.
