How do you go about trying to win back-to-back majors in back-to-back weeks?
If you are Jessica Korda, you look for every small advantage you can find with the Evian Championship this week and the AIG Women’s British Open next week.
“Maybe more room service,” Korda said. “And less going out and mingling with players.”
It’s going to be a taxing week of intense concentration for players trying to get into contention in both majors.
“It’s more mentally challenging, I think, than physically,” Korda said.
With LPGA commissioner Mike Whan wanting to remedy the weather challenges Evian has faced since it moved to September in 2013 to become the LPGA’s fifth major, he moved the event back to its July date.
