There were concerns in some quarters about Korda flying across the Atlantic with her condition, but she confirmed that the fretting is all in the past. The Olympic champion’s tie for eighth at last month’s US Open was an immense effort for a golfer with so much rust and she followed up that Pine Needles effort with a second at the LPGA Classic and then a tie for 30th at the Women’s PGA. This is only Korda’s fourth event since being given a green light by the medics and three of them have been majors. I know that a lot of girls have a lot more rounds under their belts, and I just appreciate every round that I have got to play this year.” “I go into every event wanting to contend, wanting to win.
I played some solid golf and worked hard since I've been able to play. “I wasn't even sure when I would come back obviously after everything that happened I'm just happy I'm here. “I definitely had to reassess everything,” the American said, reflecting on that worrying time that led to a three-month recuperation period out of the game. But far from feeling the pressure of expectation, Korda, the world No 3, is simply pleased to be at the Evian Championship. Zoom forwards and the 23-year-old is in contention on a major leaderboard, looking primed to complete a remarkable comeback.Ī second-round 67 took Korda to 11-under and into second, three behind pacesetter Brooke Henderson. Three months ago, Nelly Korda was in hospital for emergency surgery to remove a blood clot in her left arm. Day two: Korda storms into contention on just her fourth start since blood clot Henderson made several crucial putts for par and is two clear of the Korean double major-winner Ryu So-yeon, with American rookie Sophia Schubert two further back in third. The 24-year-old never reached the heights of her first two rounds when she raced to 14-under and into a three-shot lead over American Nelly Korda - the world No 3 only managing a level par 71 on Saturday to fall back into a tie for sixth with Hull and world No 1 Jin Young Ko - but that was to be expected with the pressure on. Henderson looks steely-eyed as she aims for her second major, having lifted the Women’s PGA title in 2016. I'm just in a good headspace at the minute.” “The way the course is playing kind of suits me. “I don't know why, but I feel relaxed here this week,” Hull said. However, Hull's most notable effort at the Evian prior to this week was a tie for 22nd four years ago. The Kettering golfer has recorded three top-sixes in the majors since bursting onto the scene as a teenager, with her best finish a tie for second at the Chevron Championship - better known as the Dinah Shore - in Palm Springs seven years ago. Thankfully, the ball wasn’t visible when I got to the green and it was a nice feeling.” "I wasn't quite sure whether it went in and although the crowd was going mad I just didn't want to celebrate and then get up there and discover it was actually a couple of feet away.

“I just hit a full shot a little bit right of the pin and it span off the slope,” she said.
Hull, the world No 38, was 98 yards from the pin on the par-four when holing out with a sand-wedge.
There are plenty of opportunities out there and obviously a few more eagles like on the 11th today would help.” “Anything can happen around this golf course, so I must just keep on making birdies. “Brooke is obviously playing very well, but I just need to keep patient,” Hull said. Henderson is in rude form after following up a pair of 64s with a gutsy 68, but the quirky nature of the Evian Resort course overlooking Lake Geneva lends itself to a fluctuating and volatile leaderboard and Hull still harbours the dream of a title that many consider her birthright. On 11-under after a third-round 67 in the Evian Championship, Hull is six behind but there are only four other golfers between the 26-year-old and the Canadian pacesetter. Henderson is well placed after following up a pair of 64s with a gutsy 68 Hull is six behind with only four other golfers between the twoĬharley Hull acknowledges the odds are stacked against winning her first major in France on Sunday, but on a layout where low scoring is eminently feasible, the Englishwoman is not about to give up on the mission of overhauling Brooke Henderson.
