“I’d give myself a D”: Nelly Korda talks about her game post-round after an impressive day at the Women’s Open Championship
After completing the third round of play, current World No. 1 Nelly Korda spoke about her spectacular play in the Women's Open Championship. She scored 3 under 69 to jump to the T9 rank on the leaderboard.
While speaking in the post-round interview, Korda shared her thoughts on her impressive third round. Although she appreciated her 'tee to green' play, she wasn't satisfied much with her pitting.
"Tee to Green, really well! For putting, I'd give myself a D. It was, I started off pretty well and on the back of 9th, I started making more mistakes with short stick. But, overall, I would say I moved up on a moving day. Conditions were tough and I'll take that," she said.

Later on, when Nelly Korda was asked about her eagle shot on the 11th hole, she replied that she was lucky to have 'flagstick' there.
"I had really good off the tee, and a really nice 7 wood in there. Greens [are] just so fast, and it just ran through the green. My chip was kind of sitting down. And, I knew that it is not gonna release much on the green. So I tried to be a little bit of aggressive. Thankfully the flagstick stopped it," she added.
Overall, Nelly Korda shot five birdies, four bogeys, and an absolute stellar eagle on the 11th hole.
