세계 랭킹 1위 넬리 코다가 2026 US 여자 오픈 2라운드 도중 언니 제시카 코다의 조언을 받아들여 우승 경쟁에 합류했다.
코다는 리비에라에서 열린 금요일 2라운드에서 4언더파 67타를 기록하며 중간 합계 2언더파를 만들었다. 첫날 73타에 비해 6타를 줄인 성적이며, 드라이버 샷 문제를 해결한 것이 주효했다. LPGA 투어 6승을 거둔 제시카 코다는 백스윙 탑에서 클럽이 처지는 경향을 교정하기 위해 그립을 더 강하게 잡으라고 조언했다. 넬리 코다는 이 변화가 낯설게 느껴졌지만 더 좋은 결과를 낳았다고 밝혔다. 그녀는 "그립을 조금 더 강하게 잡아보려고 했다"며 "오늘 정말 어색하게 느껴졌지만, 그냥 믿고 그대로 진행했다"고 말했다. 코다는 이제 36홀 선두와 2타 차로 주말 경기를 맞이하게 되었다.
