Bradenton, Florida - Nelly Korda, the hometown favorite, is in a commanding position going into the final round of the LPGA Drive On Championship. Korda shot a solid 3-under 68 with an impressive eagle-birdie finish on Saturday, giving her a comfortable four-shot lead.
Despite facing challenging conditions, including 10-15 mph wind and temperatures in the upper 70s, Korda showed great resilience after making consecutive bogeys on the 7th and 8th holes. The support from the home crowd seemed to have a positive impact on her performance. Korda expressed her gratitude, saying, 'I'm actually kind of taken back with how much support I've been getting this week. Being in Florida, I always get a lot of support, but hometown, it's crazy. It's been nice seeing friends and family come out...feeling the support.'
