Nelly Korda’s remarkable winning streak came to a halt as she faced a series of disappointing results before heading to the British Open at St. Andrews. Despite missing the cut in three consecutive events, Korda remains optimistic and views these setbacks as valuable learning experiences, focusing on continuous improvement in her game.
The Old Course at St. Andrews is expected to challenge players with rainy and windy conditions, posing a significant test for the competitors. American golfer Stacy Lewis, a past winner at St. Andrews, highlighted the need for a strong mindset to tackle the adverse weather conditions and course challenges that players will encounter during the tournament.
Korda, who has had previous successes in major championships, emphasized the importance of staying focused and present during the British Open. She acknowledged the unpredictable nature of golf and the opportunity it presents for players to showcase their creativity and adaptability on the challenging course.
Defending champion Lilia Vu arrived at St. Andrews after battling illness following her participation in the Olympics. Like previous champions in recent years, Vu faces the daunting task of trying to overcome the trend of titleholders struggling to make it past the weekend in their title defense at the British Open.
As players gear up for the prestigious event at the home of golf, they anticipate a competitive and demanding tournament that will test their skills and resilience on the historic St. Andrews course.
