Nelly Korda’s sister leaves a 1-word message for her bounce back at the Chevron Championship

Nelly Korda successfully made the cut at the Chevron Championship after two difficult rounds. And Jessica Korda, her sister, could not have been any prouder.

The World No. 1 won the Chevron Championship last year and entered the field as the defending champion. At the half-way stage, she stood at T45. Her sister shared a post uploaded by the official Instagram page of the LPGA Tour on her story.

It was Korda's scorecard from the second round of the Chevron Championship. The caption of the LPGA Tour's post said:

“Never count Nelly out 🙅‍♀️ She was 7 over with 15 holes to play… and still made the cut 👏”.

Jessica Korda shared it and wrote:

“Grind 🔥”

Jessica Korda shares Nelly Korda's scorecard

Switching back to her mallet putter after struggling with a blade in the first round, her game started getting better on Friday. Over the rest of her round, she birdied six of the final 11 holes, carding a remarkable 4-under 68. Her clutch performance helped her make the cut, a feat that seemed unlikely early in the day.
