Nelly Korda's recent performance at the Amundi Evian Championship has sparked discussions about her future in professional golf. Korda, who has been compared to Scottie Scheffler for the past three years, faced a challenging day on the course, missing the cut for the first time in two years. This setback comes as a surprise, considering her impressive record of 34 consecutive cuts made in official LPGA Tour events. Korda's performance on Friday was a stark contrast to her recent success, which includes three wins this year and a tie for eighth in the KPMG Women's PGA Championship. The article delves into Korda's performance, highlighting her missed putt and bogey at the par-4 17th hole, which ultimately led to her early exit from the tournament. It also mentions her upcoming schedule, including the ISPS Handa Scottish Open and the AIG Women's Open, where she will have the opportunity to bounce back from this setback. The piece concludes by introducing Lottie Woad, a rising star in the professional golf world, who is leading at a major championship for the first time, showcasing the competitive nature of the sport and the potential for new talent to emerge.
