arrives in Central Pennsylvania with a massive spotlight shining brightly on her. She has won six of her last seven events, and a win at the this week would mark her third career major title and second of the season. “I’ve definitely played some really solid golf,” Korda admitted.
Indeed, she has. But another victory would send shockwaves across the golf world, given that this tournament stands above all the others in women’s golf. Korda knows that.
She is also well aware that this golf course presents a different challenge, unlike many other courses have seen. “This golf course is a beast,” Korda added. “Off the tee, if you don’t hit it into the fairways, it sinks down into the rough.
These greens are small and very, very undulated.” Everyone has called a ‘true major championship test,’ a sentiment that Korda echoed. “It’s going to test every aspect of your golf game and even your mental game because it’s a major championship,” Korda explained.
“You can’t get ahead of yourself; get lost in the moment. If you make a couple of mistakes here and there, sometimes it can get away from you, but it will test every aspect of your game out there this week.” The course itself requires length, something Korda has.
It also forces the player to work the ball in both directions, as no two holes run in the same direction. Korda can do that, too. No two holes have the same shape and route, either—a fundamental attribute of a William Flynn design.
