Nelly Korda’s Sunday was not a fun day at St. Andrews this weekend.
The World No. 1 lead the AIG Women’s Open field by two strokes with five holes to play before a double-bogey 7 on the par-5 14th erased her advantage.
An additional bogey on the 17th hole, plus a fantastic inward nine from winner Lydia Ko, meant that Korda’s headline-grabbing season ended with a single major win.
After a final round like that, no one would blame Korda for locking herself in her hotel room for a night of room service and sitcom reruns,
but to her credit, she soldiered down to St. Andrews’ legendary Dunvegan Pub for the next most relatable coping mechanism:
Full marks to Korda for braving a public appearance after a blustery, brutal week at the Old Course,
especially when contrasted with the way Rory dipped out after his Pinehurst heartbreak earlier this summer. There’s no more recognizable face or name in women’s golf, and for her show up to support a local business, even in a defeat, says everything you need to know about her character.
Well, almost everything. Thankfully her hoodie says the rest:
“It costs ZERO dollars to be a nice person.”
