Nelly Korda says untimely Olympic shank hints at larger problem

Nelly Korda’s Olympic performance has raised concerns about her form, with the golfer citing an untimely shank as a symptom of a deeper issue.

After finishing tied for 15th in Tokyo, Korda suggested that her wayward tee shot on the 14th hole was not an isolated incident.

“I feel like I’ve been shanking it a little bit more than usual,” Korda said. “It’s something I’m going to have to work on.”

The American’s struggles with accuracy have been evident in recent tournaments, with Korda failing to finish in the top 10 in her last three starts.

Korda will now take some time off from competition to focus on improving her game. She is scheduled to return to action at the AIG Women’s Open in August.

Korda Misses Cut Again After 81 at Women’s PGA

Nelly Korda’s struggles continued at the Women’s PGA Championship as she missed the cut after carding an 81 in the second round. The 23-year-old American, who has been battling injuries this season, has now missed the cut in four of her last five starts.
