Nelly Korda off to a fast start with a 65 to lead by 2 in The Chevron Championship
- On Thursday, second-ranked Nelly Korda fired a bogey-free seven-under par 65 at the LPGA Chevron Championship to seize a two-stroke lead, her best opening round in a major since the 2022 Evian Championship.
- After a winless 2025 season, Korda refined her schedule and worked with longtime coach David Whelan in the offseason, entering the year's first major following a season-opening win and three consecutive runner-up finishes.
- Patty Tavatanakit and Somi Lee sit two shots back at 67 on the Memorial Park course, which measures over 6,800 yards; thirty-seven players in the 132-player field broke par despite soft conditions from rain.
- Describing her round as 'free and easy,' Korda attributed her success to a comfortable team dynamic; amateur Farah O'Keefe sits near the leaderboard at 68 alongside other contenders.
- The field pursues the first of five majors this season competing for a $1.35 million champion's prize, with three rounds remaining as players navigate the challenging rain-soaked Memorial Park course.
