Nelly Korda opened up about the challenging conditions at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship on Saturday. Speaking with Cara Banks, Korda described the fierce winds as “so brutal,” emphasizing how significantly they impacted play throughout the round.
The intense gusts at Sahalee Country Club tested even the most experienced players. Korda admitted that managing her emotions and staying mentally focused were as crucial as her physical game in navigating the blustery conditions.
Calling it a “mental test,” Korda highlighted the importance of patience and resilience. She acknowledged that major championships often demand not just skill, but also strong mental fortitude, especially under such unpredictable weather circumstances.
Despite the difficulty, Korda remains determined to adapt and compete. With another major title within reach, she understands that overcoming these elements is essential to maintaining her position among the LPGA’s elite players.
