Nelly Korda On the Brink of History

With laser focus and relentless drive, Nelly Korda surged ahead in the T-Mobile Match Play semifinal, taking down Narin An with a dominant 4 and 3 victory. Now, only Leona Maguire stands in her way as she guns for an unprecedented fourth straight LPGA Tour win. This feat has remained untouched since Lorena Ochoa's glorious run in 2008, and Korda is itching to etch her name next to some of the game's greats.

"I know she’s going to be fiery," says Korda, anticipating the clash with Maguire. Both have a fierce history, with Maguire holding an edge in team matches, but they've yet to cross swords in an individual battle. This is more than just a final - it's a potential record-making showdown!

The Showdown Sets the Stage

On the quiet greens of North Las Vegas, the stage is set for a showdown of giants. Korda, unstopped and untested, swept through the course with grace under pressure. Her opponent, Leona Maguire, ousted the formidable 2020 Player of the Year Sei Young Kim and is now poised to throw down the gauntlet.

Maguire's tenacity shone as she said, "Nelly is the best in the world right now. It’s going to be a really tough battle tomorrow. I’ve got a big challenge ahead of me." With the gauntlet thrown, anticipation electrifies the air. Who will emerge as the champion in the desert?
