Nelly Korda will never forget his incredible ride of five flat LPGA tours, including Chevron Championship last year. World no. 1 The player knows too well that none of these means a thing this week while preparing to defend her title in the first place of the season.
Korda, 26, had a career in 2024. year, winning seven events, including five in a series of last spring and called Rolex by player of the year.
“What I achieved last year, no one can take it from me,” Kord said this week. “It will always be such a great memory, but it is a fresh week and a fresh way of thinking.”
Korda’s game this year didn’t quite match before the season. She ended up in second place in the champion tournament to start the season in January and then added another top 10 finish a week later. But she has not yet discovered that the dominant shape as an LPGA Tour head in Texas, with medium performance in the last three events enters the club in Carlton Woods.
The Kord felt better about his iron play a week ago on the La Championship, where she finished tied up 16., seven shots behind the winner Rookie Ingrid Lindblad. Korda said the placing has come so far.
“I just need my traveler to click a little more to make those shop windows.” She said. “I think there was a lack of there, are the journeys I brought last year, I just don’t make it as much this year.”
The Korda will have to be at the moment, which has 24 from the top 25 in World Rank Lili, including the 2023 Chevron of Lilia VU and the ruling Olympic gold medal Lydia who won the HSBC Female World Cup earlier this season.
Nelly Kord often talks about her “bubble”. Within that sphere is the quartet of people who helped make the best player in the world.
Korda is not worried, knowing that he would eventually get the right with her game. “It’s just golf,” she said. “I went through the waves like this and if I just keep working on it, I hope it clicks.”
Ingrid Lindblad launched
It didn’t take Lindblad to show his impressive talent as an amateur golfer in LSU after making it in the LPGA tour, winning her third start career. He will try to provide her with another professional victory of the major.
A 25-year-old from Sweden received cards greeting cards from women’s golf great “Annika Sorenstam and Suzann Pettersen. Lindblad said that Delta even quit the baggage allowance for her on the flight to Houston.
“But I don’t know if I was me or did something wrong,” she said laughter.
Lindblad played in nine places like an amateur, but never unfinished. Her best ending goal came on American women from 2022. years, where he was tied up in 11. Place.
It was a different time, she said, and she would try to touch the way she played last week to do well here.
“Obviously, as I just need to keep playing my game and do everything I can play well,” she said.
Return of Lilia Vu
Lilia Vu went from the champion in front of 18. Green after winning Chevron Championship in 2023. years to ask if she would ever play the edge of golf without pain.

She had to retire last year when the painful her backs came on and could barely hit the ball 40 meters on the ride range.
“I think I was so much in the panic last year as I would ever play a circle of golf, let alone a circle of tournaments,” Vu said this week. “He spent two months, and that was probably the hardest two months of my life because I love the competition.”
He said that she reconsidered her entire routine, how she practiced and trained, focused on a better posture and how to recover from a circle and be ready for next.
She fixed her shape. Lexi Thompson won the playoff last June in his first event back. She lost playoff at Hoo Joo Kim on Ford Championship last month.
“I’d say I’m in a much better place than I was last year,” she said.
