Nelly Korda’s Emotional Outburst Shocks Fans After Nightmare LPGA Championship Round!

World No. 1 women’s golfer Nelly Korda let out some emotions after a very rough day at the LPGA Championship led to a third straight missed cut.

After winning the Chevron Championship – one of women’s golf’s five majors – back in April, she’s missed the cut at the next two majors: the US Women’s Open and this weekend’s LPGA.

Korda went into the second round at Sahalee Golf Club in Washington state having shot a three-under 69 in the previous day and sat only a stroke behind then-leader Lexi Thompson.

But she collapsed with an 81 in the second round which led to her missing the cut. As a result, she was seen on camera letting some emotion out as she wiped away tears on the course. That 81 is the worst round ever shot by a women’s world number one at a major championship.

Korda bogeyed the first four holes and also dropped strokes on Nos. 6 and 9 in a front-nine 42. She bogeyed Nos. 11 and 14, had a double bogey on the 15 and made her lone birdie of the day on 18.

Schmelzel, the 30-year-old Arizonan who winless in six seasons on the LPGA Tour, made a 10-foot birdie putt on the par-3 17th hole and stayed aggressive on the par-5 18th, knocking her 3-wood short of the green and chipping to a foot for a tap-in birdie and the low round of the championship.

‘Just staying really patient out there and aggressive off the tee was kind of our game plan this week,’ Schmelzel said. ‘I drove (the ball) really well, so fortunately able to take advantage of having some shorter irons in today.’
