Nelly Korda har noterat tre segrar och tre andraplatser under sina sex första starter på 2026 års LPGA-säsong.
Kordas järnspel från ruffen har särskilt utmärkt henne. Hon når greenen på föreslaget antal slag i 68 procent av fallen efter att ha missat fairway på par 4- och 5-hål, vilket är betydligt bättre än genomsnittet på touren som ligger på 51,8 procent. Detta har resulterat i att hon tjänat 1,97 slag per runda på sina inspel, vilket är den bästa noteringen på touren.
