Korda sisters in mix through 54 at Founders Cup
PHOENIX – The LPGA’s Sister Act is a proving a pretty good show.
On Friday, Jessica Korda made a hard run up the leaderboard to get into contention at the Bank of Hope Founders Cup.
On Saturday, her younger sister, Nelly, made her own big move.
With an 8-under-par 64, Nelly was tied for the lead with Rolex world No. 1 Lydia Ko when she signed her scorecard, but she ended up five back of Anna Nordqvist (61) at day’s end. Jessica (70) is three shots behind Nelly.
Nelly, 18, was asked if there’s an ongoing battle for bragging rights with Jessica, 24, this year. Nelly doesn’t see it that way.
“She’s definitely my best friend,” Nelly said. “She’s my go to, practically.”
