Nelly Korda had a tough start to the Chevron Championship and shot 5-over par (77) in her opening round. However, she finished Round 2 with six birdies, displaying strong resilience.

During her post-round conference, Korda talked about her comeback to contention (as quoted by ASAP Sports):

"Yeah, I mean, at one point I was 7 over, so... Grinded a lot on the two birdies on my eighth and ninth hole really helped kind of boost it. Then knew that there were some gettable par-5s on the back nine, front nine. So, yeah, just crazy day. Go from win a tournament to just make the cut."

"Just my word today was have faith. That was my motto. So, yeah, I didn't really have much though after when I made two bogeys, but I just kept repeating it to myself, yeah."

This was Korda's sixth LPGA start of this year, and her 10th attempt at the Chevron Championship. After concluding her play in the final round, Korda is placed T14 on the leaderboard, with a total score of 286 (overall 77-68-71-70).
