Nelly Korda isn’t thinking about executing a scissors kick Down Under just yet, but it would be a terrific story.
A Korda sweep looms as a possibility at the ISPS Handa Women’s Australian Open after Nelly posted a 5-under-par 67 Saturday to take the lead in Adelaide. She’s seeking to become the fourth family member to win an Open in Australia. Her father, Petr, got it started winning the Australian Open in tennis in 1998 and celebrated with his trademark scissors kick. After Nelly’s sister, Jessica, won the Women’s Australian Open golf event in 2012, she duplicated her father’s scissors kick.
