ORLANDO, Fla. – Nelly Korda double-crossed a couple irons shots this week at the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions. She can’t remember the last time she’d done that.

“I just wasn't hitting it good,” Korda said Sunday at Lake Nona after starting her season with a solo-fourth finish, five shots behind winner Brooke Henderson. “I was hitting it really well with my driver. I just wasn't executing my shots well. I was leaving myself really long putts typically I wouldn't.”

Korda was excited, however, to get to work back home as the LPGA enters what many are playfully referring to as the “second offseason” – the tour’s next event is Feb.
