By As the Evian Championship unfolds, Nelly Korda, the world’s top-ranked golfer, emphasizes the virtue of patience in navigating the unique challenges of the Evian Resort Golf Club. Despite a recent dip in form, Korda remains the favorite, drawing on her experience and resilience.
The course, known for its small greens and unpredictable fairways, demands adaptability and a steady temperament. Korda, with two major titles under her belt, knows the importance of maintaining composure, especially on a course where the ball’s lie can be as unpredictable as the outcome of each shot.
Korda’s season has been a mixed bag, marked by a series of wins but also recent missed cuts. An unexpected setback occurred when a dog bite forced her to withdraw from a tournament, but she assures fans she’s on the mend.
The scheduling of the Evian Championship has been adjusted to precede the Paris Olympics, where Korda aims to defend her gold medal. While she laments not sharing this year’s Olympic journey with her sister Jessica, she’s thrilled at the prospect of representing her country once more, with the added bonus of indulging in Parisian croissants.
