Nelly Korda’s Olympic collapse: It started with 1 ill-fated, ‘hesitant’ move
Nelly Korda’s bid for Olympic gold fell short on Saturday as the world No. 1 finished tied for 15th at Kasumigaseki Country Club.
The American’s hopes of a podium finish evaporated on the 14th hole, where she hit a wayward tee shot into the trees. Korda then compounded her error by playing a “hesitant” second shot that left her with an awkward stance.
From there, Korda’s round unraveled as she carded a triple-bogey 7, ending her chances of a medal.
