Nelly Korda

Shaughnessy Golf & Country Club

Quick Quotes

Q. All right, Nell, big day for you kind of off the course and on the golf course. Focusing on the course, just overall how is your second day here at Shaughnessy?

NELLY KORDA: Yeah, it was good. Unfortunately kind of finished with two bogeys coming in, but other than that, I played well, putted well.

Hopefully I can bring some momentum going into this weekend.

Q. What's it been like getting used to this course? I know it's quite challenging, but how do you feel it's suiting your game?

NELLY KORDA: Yeah, I think you have to hit some really solid shots out here, not only just off the tee, but into the greens. They release like 15 to 20 yards, so when you don't hit it in the fairway it's very tough to get it on the greens.

It's very crucial to hit it well out here. At the end of the day you got to make putts.

Q. Seeing all parts of your game come together, you always say good golf speaks for itself, how is it feeling out there?

NELLY KORDA: Pretty good. I made a couple mistakes here and there, but overall one step at time it's getting better. I would say I've definitely improved a good bit on the putting greens from British, so any single time I can see something, the momentum shifting, I think it feels good.

Hopefully I can continue gaining from that?

Q. Of course off the course today we all saw Jess' big news. Overall how does it feel to soon become Auntie Nelly?

NELLY KORDA: Yeah, still a long way from that, but hopefully she's feeling good. It's been exciting to kind of be in her corner through all this. I'm very excited for her and this next step guess.

Obviously she misses it out here, but it's definitely been an exciting time for her and our family.
