Nelly Korda trails Katsu and Choi after strong LPGA return round

Nelly Korda marked her return to competitive golf with a 7-under 65 at the LPGA event at Pelican Golf Club. She trails Minami Katsu and Hye-Jin Choi, who both shot 63. Korda played her first event since the Solheim Cup and aims for her first victory since the U.S. Women’s Open in June. Choi and Katsu both had bogey-free rounds, with Choi looking to secure her first title in five years. Korda has already clinched the LPGA player of the year title based on points and a Hall of Fame berth is within reach with a win in one of the remaining events.
