Nelly Korda suffers late collapse during round 2 of golf at the Paris Olympics.. full details down⬇️⬇️
A 4-under 32 had Nelly Korda off to a nice start in Round 2 on Thursday and it continued into the back nine. Holes 11 and 15 saw Korda continuing to surge up the leaderboard. Then hole 16 happened. As she stood on the tee box trying to decide between using a wedge or a 9-iron, she never looked comfortable. Would she play the safe club choice of a wedge? Or would Nelly Korda risk it and use a 9-iron?

Korda went with the latter. Her 9-iron in theory should have been enough for the 150-yard par 3. Her tee shot landed a foot short of the green in the water. She said nothing was wrong with the club she chose, but stated, “the ball came off the heal”.
