BELMONT, Mich. — The crowd was roaring Saturday afternoon after Nelly Korda sunk a five-foot eagle putt that put her in the solo lead at the LPGA Meijer Classic.
It was nothing but smiles for last year’s tournament winner. Korda was feeding off the crowd’s energy all afternoon and seemed to flourish in the electric atmosphere as the fans rallied behind her.
“I had a left-to-righter on 17 that I under-read, and I knew that my putt on 18, when I got up to it that it was going to be a left-to-righter and I just gave it a little bit more than I thought,” Korda said. “Yeah, I trusted in my line and it just barely dropped in, but it was the perfect putt and it was great to hear the crowd go wild too, that was really cool.”
