World No. 1 collapses to 81 for third straight missed cut; Yang and Schmelzel share lead

Women's PGA Championship 2024 - ANOTHER SHOCKER SO KORDA 'TO RESET'

Once again for the wrong reason, the story of the day belonged to Nelly Korda.

The world No. 1 had yet another epic collapse in the second round of the Women's PGA Championship on June 21, as South Korea's Amy Yang and American Sarah Schmelzel, both seeking a first Major title, shared the lead.

Korda, who has won six LPGA titles this season, was one stroke off the lead when the day began but fired a nine-over 81 the highest score of her professional career and finished on six-over 150 to miss the cut by a stroke.

The two-time Major winner and reigning Olympic champion had eight bogeys and a double-bogey before making her lone birdie at the 18th, a tap-in after nearly holing out from a bunker for eagle.

The American clinched her second Major at April's Chevron Championship, but she missed the cut at the US Women's Open - in which she had a first-round 80 and last week's LPGA Meijer Classic and has struggled to regain top form.

Even so, her fall was stunning, a third straight missed cut for the first time in her career.
