Nelly Korda, the world's top-ranked golfer, had a strong start at the 2024 Paris Olympics, positioning herself within striking distance of a gold medal for the first three days of competition. However, her fortunes took a turn on the fourth day as she struggled on the course.
After completing 17 holes on Saturday, Korda found herself at 1-under par for the tournament but was sitting at +3 for the day. The turning point came at the 15th hole when she put a ball in the water, resulting in a triple bogey that dealt a significant blow to her medal hopes.
