NAPLES, Fla. -- Standing on the ninth tee at the Miramar Golf Country Club in New Taipei City, Taiwan, earlier this month, five-time LPGA winner and eight-year veteran Jessica Korda, 26, started crying.
Just moments before tears started to roll down Korda's face, one of her final pairing partners, South Korean golfer So Yeon Ryu, casually brought up the potential of Korda's younger sister Nelly winning the Taiwan Swinging Skirts LPGA for the second year in a row. For the eldest Korda sister, even thinking about the potential of seeing her sister win made her cry.
Since Nelly joined the LPGA Tour in 2017, Jessica had never seen her win a tournament.
