Nelly Korda’s Dominance Continues: Hannah Green Admits Fear of World No.1
At the upcoming second Women’s Major, all eyes are on World No. 1 Rolex player Nelly Korda, who has been on an unstoppable winning streak this season. Out of the eight events she has participated in, Korda emerged victorious in six, displaying a level of dominance that has left her competitors in awe. The latest player to admit to being intimidated by Korda’s gameplay is Hannah Green, a formidable contender in her own right.
Green, who narrowly missed out on victory against Korda at the Mizuho Americas Open, expressed her admiration for Korda’s seemingly effortless performance. Describing Korda’s precision on the course, Green remarked, “Like she didn’t make it look like she was a robot.” The Australian player highlighted Korda’s ability to consistently deliver exceptional shots and avoid making costly errors, a skill that has set her apart from the competition.
Despite her own success this season, with two championships under her belt, Green acknowledged the challenge of facing off against Korda. Reflecting on the pressure to perform at the highest level, Green emphasized the importance of rising to the occasion when competing against a player of Korda’s caliber. She noted, “Trying to beat Nelly is almost what we are trying to aim for because if you beat her, you’re probably going to have the trophy in your hands.”
As Korda looks to secure her seventh victory of the season and potentially claim a third major title, the pressure is on for both players. Green’s concerns about the expectations placed on Korda in the event of a less-than-perfect performance highlight the intense scrutiny faced by top-ranked players in the world of professional golf. Will Korda maintain her winning streak, or will Green emerge victorious in the upcoming competition? The golfing world eagerly anticipates the outcome.
