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.
