Ko: Recent Wins Don’t Alter Farewell Plan

World #1 Lydia Ko emphasized her retirement timeline won’t be altered by her latest victories. Ko, 25, previously announced plans to step away from the game at the end of 2023 to focus on family life. Despite winning two of her last three LPGA starts, the New Zealander maintains her decision has not wavered. “I think my reasons for wanting to retire are still the same,” she said. “I’m super grateful for the wins, but the timing is all about being able to start a family whenever.”

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.

Korda opened with a 72 on Thursday, but her second round was a disaster. She made seven bogeys and a double bogey to finish well outside the cutline.

“It was a tough day,” Korda said. “I just couldn’t make any putts. I’m really disappointed to miss the cut, but I’m going to try to learn from this and come back stronger.”
