Nelly Korda is entering the Chevron Championship with an opportunity to get her fifth straight victory in her fifth start. Before the first women’s major of the season began, she spoke to the media. She was asked about the comparison with Nancy Lopez who won five tournaments in a row. The 25-year-old American pressed on the fact that everything that mattered was the results.
While speaking in a press conference before the Chevron Championship, Nelly Korda highlighted that the opportunities would only come through results. She added that everyone wanted to see them play good golf and compete well. The 25-year-old American said,
“That’s a great question. I mean, I think that it just depends on the opportunities that are brought to you. If you’re playing good golf and you’re competing well and people see how much love you have for the game or how much work you put in day in and day out, I think that if everything comes with results, if you don’t have results, then you’re not going to get opportunities. So everything at the end of the day is about results.”
