BELLEAIR, Fla.—Nelly Korda made such a mess of the 17th hole that missing what amounts to a tap-in barely registered. She made triple bogey and part of her couldn’t help but think she had thrown away her chances in the Pelican Women’s Championship.
“I honestly lost hope,” Korda said. “I was like, ‘OK, just try to make a solid par’—18 is a really tough hole—‘If you have a chance or birdie, then try and go after it.’ My caddie really kept me in the moment and I didn’t give up.
