When Nelly Korda’s final putt dropped at Lake Nona Golf & Country Club, the emotions took over. Tears welled in her eyes, as she realised the day’s reward. The 22-year-old had won her fourth victory on the LPGA Tour since joining in 2017 at the Gainbridge LPGA, after what she coined a “stressful” day.
Nelly Korda had never played Lake Nona Golf & Country Club before this week. Despite the unfamiliarity, Korda cruised to the top of the leaderboard, finishing day three with a 68 and a thirteen-under-par total. This gave both Korda sisters something to celebrate on Jessica’s birthday at the Gainbridge LPGA.
Lake Nona Golf & Country Club member Lydia Ko continued to show her liking for her home course at the Gainbridge LPGA, taking the 36-hole lead on ten-under-par. In contrast to her eagle start in round one Ko opened the second day with a bogey on the 10th hole but quickly bounced back.
All eyes were set on the first tee at 12:25 p.m. yesterday, as Annika Sorenstam teed off for the first time in over twelve years, alongside major winner Anna Nordqvist and defending champion Madelene Sagstrom at the Gainbridge LPGA.

It has been thirteen years since Annika Sorenstam last stood on the first tee in an official, full-field LPGA Tour event. Although she insists "Not a comeback" it will be interesting to see how one of the all-time greats performs at her home course, Lake Nona Golf & Country Club.
