Korda bends more than she turns, which as Golf Digest Best in State Teacher Jeff Smith explains here, is a key trait for players who hit right-to-left draws.
A winner of 14 LPGA events, Korda has notched nearly half of them in only eight starts this season. She is only the fourth player in LPGA history to win at least six times before June.
With the PGA Championship around the corner, Jason Day has cemented his status as one to watch after a hot result at Quail Hollow during the PGA Tour’s $US20 million signature event in Charlotte.
All eyes in the golf world now focus on Korda as she goes for her sixth straight victory on the LPGA in the Cognizant Founders Cup this week, a feat never accomplished in the tour’s 74-year history.
Green fired a closing five-under 66 to win by three strokes from Sweden’s Maja Stark at Wilshire Country Club for the most convincing win of her career.
Perth’s Hannah Green is primed to defend the JM Eagle LA Championship, but her greatest threat is Sydneysider Grace Kim with whom she shares the 54-hole lead in Los Angeles.
Hannah Gregg laid out her expenses for the week at the recent Women’s New South Wales Open, and they painted a striking picture of how hard it is to make a living for the vast majority of professional players – male or female.
Korda’s two-stroke victory over Maja Stark makes her one of three in LPGA history to win five straight starts, joining Hall of Famers Nancy Lopez (1978) and Annika Sorenstam (2004-2005).
