Lesson plan: N. Korda, 21, still learning what it will take to win major

WOBURN, England – Nelly Korda is looking to take the next step in her education.

She’s looking to win a major, but she understands it’s like a graduate program. There are still lessons to be learned.

“I started playing golf because I wanted to win major championships,” Korda said Tuesday at the AIG Women’s British Open. “I feel like the more experience I get, and the more I'm in contention, and the more I am under pressure in these situations, the more I learn, the more I grow as a player.”

Korda, who just turned 21 on Sunday, broke through to win her first LPGA title at the Swinging Skirts Taiwan Championship last October and won again at the ISPS Handa Women’s Australian Open in February.
