Nelly Korda hat in ihren ersten sechs Starts der LPGA-Saison 2026 drei Siege und drei zweite Plätze erzielt.
Kordas Eisenspiel aus dem Rough hebt sie von der Konkurrenz ab. Nachdem sie auf Par-4- und Par-5-Löchern das Fairway verfehlt hat, erreicht sie die Greens in Regulation mit einer Quote von 68 Prozent und liegt damit weit vor dem Durchschnitt des Teilnehmerfeldes von 51,8 Prozent. Dies führte zu einem Gewinn von 1,97 Schlägen pro Runde bei Annäherungsschlägen, dem besten Wert der Tour.
