JOHNS CREEK, Ga. – Nelly Korda was unstoppable on Friday, but can she remain unbeatable at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship? Korda started her round on the back nine at Atlanta Athletic Club and birdied her last six holes to shoot 9-under 63 to take a one-shot lead over Lizette Salas, at 11 under.
The par-3 fourth marked the beginning of her six-hole birdie streak. “I hit an arrow at the pin,” she said. “Probably had 20 feet and just crept in from the side on the left.”
Boom. Birdie No. 1.
On the par-5 fifth, Korda hit a 7-wood into the green and then lipped out the eagle putt for a tap-in birdie.
