Nelly Korda was a tad irritated.

Just seven days removed from winning her third career major at the Chevron Championship , the world No. 1 had a six-stroke lead on the 72nd hole of the Riviera Maya Open at Mayakoba. But she hit a wayward tee shot into the bushes and wouldn’t find her ball.

“I was like, ‘Really, on the last hole?’” Korda said. “And then the 18th hole always had a really cool vibe. The music was blaring and I think everyone was just enjoying themselves. At the end of the day, I just really wanted to have fun, too.”

It would only be a few minutes before she could. Korda hit a provisional, which fell in the greenside bunker. Then her shot from the sand went into the gallery. But she topped off the week by making a 20-footer for bogey—her first bogey in 60 holes.

Not that it mattered at that point.…
