Nelly Korda succumbed to the pressure of St. Andrews’ infamous 12th hole during a disappointing end to the Women’s Open. In a post-match interview, a visibly upset Korda admitted her “mess up” on the infamous hole ultimately cost her the title.
Korda’s iron shot found a deceptive lie, leaving her in trouble. Desperate to stay in contention, she fought back, making a critical par putt. However, the damage had been done, and Korda’s hopes of winning the tournament were shattered.
“I messed up. That shot wasn’t what we expected,” said Korda, trying to compose herself. “I had to make the putt. I had to get on with it. I’m not going to cry about it. It’s just golf.”
Despite the setback, Korda remained determined to finish the tournament on a high note, acknowledging that the “golf gods” had been on her side to some extent.
