Nelly Korda is currently competing at the 2024 CME Group Tour Championship, the final event on the LPGA Tour. Her second round of the event is underway as she is trying her best to make a comeback after an average start on Thursday.

The highlight of her round so far has been an impressive eagle from the first cut rough. Korda made a decent start to the event as she carded two pars and stood on the par four 3rd hole, where she carded a bogey on day one.

Korda found the first cut rough from her tee shot and had a decent chance of making a birdie or par. However, she surprised everyone with an incredible approach shot, which bounced on the edge of the green and rolled into the hole with ease for an eagle.

With this eagle, Korda moved to -2 for the day and event, as she remained even par on day one and was in the middle half of the leaderboard. She is currently ranked T5 with a score of -5, having carded three birdies after her eagle.
