In order to hoist the trophy, Korda will need to stay in contention in the third round and finish in the red on Sunday. In 2023, she shot a final-round 80. In 2022, she shot a 73 and finished tied for eighth and in 2018, she shot a final-round 73 and finished tied for 10th. There’s some work to do, and maybe a few demons to overcome

Korda’s longtime caddie, Jason McDede, said he tries not to overdo anything, but that he walked the course at least three times before his boss arrived. There wasn’t much difference between the opening 72, he said, and the 67. It’s simply that a few more putts dropped.
