Nelly Korda is in contention for a historic feat at the AIG Women’s Open, currently tied for third place. However, she faces a significant deficit, trailing leader Ashleigh Buhai by 11 strokes.
Despite her strong start, Korda’s title hopes hinge on gaining ground on the leaders over the final two rounds. Should she prevail, she would become the first American to win three women’s golf majors in the same year since Babe Zaharias in 1950.
