What pressure? World No. 1 Nelly Korda enjoying second Solheim Cup experience

TOLEDO, Ohio – If Nelly Korda is feeling the weight of the world, being its No. 1-ranked player, she’s not showing it.

That’s not surprising. Korda has a game face that will keep you guessing. What is not in doubt, however, is why she is atop the Rolex Rankings: three LPGA wins this season, a maiden major and an Olympic gold medal.

There are still eight more tour events on this year’s schedule, but a Solheim Cup win would all-but cap her dominant campaign.

“It's been hectic,” Korda said on Wednesday, noting the last five events on the women’s calendar have included a major in France, a major in Scotland and the Tokyo Games.
