Watch: Once again, water scare puts a jolt into Nelly Korda's heart rate

On Thursday, Nelly Korda’s heart rate jumped after her ball narrowly avoided water on the par-3 15th at Atlanta Athletic Club.

It skyrocketed on Saturday as she thought for sure her tee shot on the same hole was fated to a watery grave.

“Water,” she said after striking her 6-iron from 176 yards.

But it wasn’t. To her astonishment, her ball landed safely, right of the putting surface.

Korda, who is wearing a Whoop device, which monitors her heart rate, was around 130 beats per minute before she hit her tee shot at No.
