Nelly Korda Fusses Over Annoying Skin Problem While Mammoth LPGA Challenge Awaits
Sunday poises to be an exciting one for the LPGA Fans out there. The last round of the 2025 Founders Cup awaits at the Bradenton Country Club. After a remarkable three days of golf, 23-year-old Yealimi Noh has raced to a 1-stroke lead over Jin Young Ko.
Noh was at 10 under par after Round 2 but scored 8 birdies in the last 11 holes on Day 3 to secure the sole lead at the tournament. “Just the first few holes they were slow and I was hitting it well but not making many putts,” Noh said after her ok start to day 3. “I guess I just needed a birdie and that one at eight just helped me get going.” The American golfer who is yet to win an event on the LPGA Tour let loose after the birdie at the 8 hole – setting the pace for the group that is chasing.
Amongst the chasing group, is local girl and one of the tournament favorites Nelly Korda. 26-year-old Korda, who is after her 16 LPGA Tour victory, also recovered after average performances on Day 1 and Day 2. One of the fan favorites, she shot a brilliant 6 under par and headed into the final round six strokes behind Noh and tied with Hannah Green for fifth place on the leaderboard.
But fans of the two-time major winner will be slightly miffed as the golfer is seemingly not too worried about the challenge of Day 4. In an Instagram story, Korda appears to be more attentive towards her appearance. The time spent golfing in the sun had caused her hands to turn a shade darker and in the story, Korda shared a photo of her two hands side by side with a clear tan line seen at her wrist.
