FROM 'BAD' PERSON TO GOOD GOLFER

SEOUL - After over a decade as a professional golfer, Nicole Broch Estrup is finally starting to feel like she knows how to play the sport properly.

Throughout her career, there have been many moments that were filled with self-doubt, but the 30-year-old Dane is learning to be kinder to herself.

This switch in mindset has done wonders as she has recorded some decent results in 2024, with two top-10 finishes in four Ladies European Tour (LET) events.

She now finds herself in contention at the Aramco Team Series Korea as she holds the joint clubhouse lead with German Carolin Kauffmann on a one-under 143 total.

They both posted one-under 71 on May 11 as heavy rain halted play at the New Korea Country Club.

Broch Estrup is four strokes behind Colombia's Mariajo Uribe, who is top of the leaderboard and is two under through 10 holes, while South Korean Kim Hyo-joo (even par after nine) is a shot back in second.
