Where did Nelly Korda finish after the final round of golf at the 2024 Paris Olympics?

Nelly Korda, the heavy favorite to clinch gold or at least a medal in women's golf at the 2024 Paris Olympics, fell short of expectations. Unable to replicate her best form on Le Golf National's Albatross course, Korda finished a disappointing T22.

Korda started her final round in 6th place, five strokes behind the lead. Just like Scottie Scheffler in the men's tournament, the 26-year-old former gold medalist was expected to accelerate in the fourth round and make a comeback.

Korda started her final round with two consecutive birdies on the second and third holes. She was all set to be in contention for a podium finish before losing her momentum on the 5th hole. The American golfer carded two bogeys on the 5th and 7th holes and could never recover from the setback.

The American golfer was one under par for the day after the front nine, and she required a performance akin to Scottie Scheffler's on the back half to clinch her second Olympic medal.

However, Korda couldn't replicate that performance and carded -1 on the back nine with two bogeys, one double bogey, and a birdie to finish the event with a score of +3 for the day and -1 for the event.

Nelly Korda believes her game is moving in the right direction.

Nelly Korda's recent form is a cause for concern, as evidenced by her T22 finish at the 2024 Paris Olympics and three missed cuts in her last four LPGA Tour events.

Korda had expressed optimism about her game's trajectory during the pre-round press conference for the 2024 Paris Olympics. She had previously taken a week off following the Evian Championship to recover before starting to train again.

"Hopefully trending in the right direction. I took some time off after Evian and kind of put my clubs to the side for a week, and then grinded for two weeks. I have Jamie out here with me this week, and he's always really nice to be around and keeps it super light," Korda revealed.

Korda acknowledged golf's fickle nature, stating that fortunes can change in no time.

"You know, the game of golf of is a funny game. Sometimes you feel on top of the world and in a matter of a couple seconds, you just feel like you're on the bottom of the sea," the American golfer said.

"So it definitely makes you appreciate the good golf that you play, but yeah, I mean, you have to have a mix of everything in there and everything can't always go well," Korda concluded.
