Just play, we\u2019ll handle the rest<\/p>\nEDMONTON \u2014 Nelly Korda is a hockey fan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But despite being in the city of champions this week, she\u2019s steadfast in her support of one particular squad.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBoston Bruins,\u201d Korda said with a laugh.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI mean,\u201d she added, \u201cyou guys have a good team.\u201d<\/p>\n
While the Edmonton Oilers\u2019 Stanley Cup drought has stretched to almost 40 years, Korda is seeing no such streak. The game\u2019s No. 1-ranked player has won four times already this season, including two majors, and besides Brooke Henderson, she\u2019s the star of the show this week at the CPKC Women\u2019s Open.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Korda blasted out of the gate this season on the LPGA Tour, winning three of her first six starts. The other three results during that stretch? Second place.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Korda has, perhaps somewhat oddly, gone into a \u2018down\u2019 time through the summer. She missed her first cut of the season at the Amundi Evian Championship and then ended up over-par and tied for 16th at the ISPS Handa Women\u2019s Scottish Open. She finished tied for fourth \u2014 and in the process clinched the Rolex Annika Major Award \u2014 at the AIG Women\u2019s Open but was basically a non-factor through the week.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Still, Korda said Wednesday she was \u201cvery happy\u201d with her year.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThere has been some incredible highs [\u2026] Evian maybe a little bit questionable. But that’s just kind of how golf is. You sometimes ride the wave of the highs and then sometimes golf humbles you. Sometimes maybe sometimes a lot, too,\u201d Korda said. \u201cBut overall, just very happy with my year, my team, and the way my body has held up so far.\u201d<\/p>\n
Korda said the key to her success through the early part of the year was attributed to how she managed herself mentally. Everyone hits bad shots and goes through tough times inside the ropes but, Korda said, acknowledging that and leaning into a good game plan has been something she\u2019s learned as she\u2019s matured.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI think when you’re just thinking about just hitting one shot at a time and not necessarily draining so much mental energy on, like, what’s going wrong during your round, it just kind of frees you up and also gives you good mental freeness on, like, being able to attack the next hole and knowing there is always another shot or another opportunity,\u201d Korda said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
