The Golf Channel for Golf Lessons
In this edition of the Monday Finish, we recap the weekend that was and look ahead to what’s next in golf. Rory McIlroy showcased his brilliant feel and touch around the greens again en route to victory at the Dubai Desert Classic, while Rose Zhang delivered a wild finish to win the Honda LPGA Thailand. We also look at the breakout performance of Kurt Kitayama, who matched the course record at the Genesis Invitational.
Nelly Korda, the world’s No. 1 ranked women’s golfer, is having a banner year. With seven wins and a major championship already under her belt, Korda is poised to make a run at golf history.
Korda’s success is due to her all-around game. She is a long hitter with a great short game and a cool head under pressure. She is also a fierce competitor who is never afraid to go for the win.
As the LPGA season winds down, Korda is in prime position to add to her trophy collection. She has a chance to become the youngest player to win three majors in a row since Babe Zaharias in 1950. She could also become the first player to win the LPGA Player of the Year award three years in a row.
Korda’s success is a boon for the LPGA. She is a young, marketable star who can help attract new fans to the game. She is also an inspiration to young girls, showing them that anything is possible with hard work and determination.
