US golfer Nelly Korda has had an exhausting past four weeks. The World No. 1 was constantly "on the road" and is now taking a much-needed break while also supporting her brother, Sebastian Korda, at the US Open.

Korda went into the 2024 Paris Olympics as the defending champion but failed to secure a podium finish. She was next seen at the AIG Women's Open at the St. Andrews Golf Club in Scotland. Despite putting up a good show in the first two rounds, her game faltered in the final round due to some poor wedge shots followed by a double bogey and she eventually settled for T2.

After the AIG Women's Open, Nelly Korda immediately flew to New York City to support Sebastian during his campaign at the coveted tournament. Sebastian is an upcoming tennis star and is currently competing at the US Open.

Nelly took to Instagram to share photos from the US Open with her fans. She posted a selfie dressed in a baseball cap, white jacket, small pendant and a sage green sling purse. Her black sunglasses were placed above her cap. She captioned the story with a victory sign emoji, saying "out NYC".

Nelly Korda later posted a collage of four pictures depicting her "four weeks on the road". The first photo was of the glittering Eiffel Tower at night, with the iconic Olympic rings adorning the structure. The second picture was of her holding a coffee cup against the backdrop of a cathedral.

The third photo featured the Old Course as the sun was about to set, while the fourth picture was a snapshot of her brother Sebastian during his first round of the US Open.

The Solheim Cup will tee off on September 13. This will be Korda's fourth appearance at the prestigious event.
