Lydia Ko’s gas-station mindset, Rory’s broken driver, Korda’s ‘mess up’ | Monday Finish

Lydia Ko has revealed the “gas-station” mindset that fuels her remarkable return to form, while Rory McIlroy endured a broken driver and Nelly Korda admitted to a “mess up” at the WM Phoenix Open.

Ko’s recent hot streak has seen her jump to world No. 1 and she has attributed it to a “gas-station” mindset, where she focuses on the next shot rather than the big picture. McIlroy, on the other hand, had to endure a broken driver and a missed cut, while Korda made a costly error in the final round. Despite these setbacks, Ko remains optimistic and McIlroy is confident he can bounce back.

Rory McIlroy snaps driver, then nearly pulls off the unthinkable

Rory McIlroy snaps driver, then nearly pulls off the unthinkable

Rory McIlroy’s torrid start to the US Open continued at The Country Club (Brookline, Mass), where he snapped his driver on the par-four 10th hole then nearly pulled off the unthinkable. The four-time major champion was forced to reach for one of his backup drivers and performed valiantly with the substitute stick – finding the fairway and leaving himself only 179 yards to the hole. McIlroy’s approach shot was delicate and fell 20 feet from the flagstick, giving him a chance to salvage a birdie that would keep him in striking distance of the lead.
