Nelly Korda played alongside Lydia Ko and Haeran Ryu during the first two rounds of the AIG Women’s Open at Royal Lytham & St Annes Golf Club.
Korda bounced back really well from her disappointing opening-round 73 by shooting a 68 on day two at the Women’s Open.

Nelly Korda has improved her mentality and patience during major championships over the past year or so.
And she showed that in abundance during her second round at Royal Lytham & St Annes on Friday.

“So, yeah, she’s playing really good golf.“

“She’s amazing to watch, especially her short game. I mean, some of the shots today that she was hitting were so dirty and so impressive. So it’s fun to play with her and also fun to watch.
“Yeah, I think girls are really respectful out here and we always say good shot when there is a good shot that’s hit.“
Nelly Korda obviously felt very comfortable playing in the group alongside Lydia Ko and Haeran Ryu at the Women’s Open during the first two days.
And she will play alongside Ko again during the final two rounds at Royal Lytham & St Annes.
