Nelly Korda is just trying to enjoy herself at the Evian Championship after a four-month injury layoff that has given her more perspective about her golf.
The one at No. 9, her last hole, was from 8 feet and ensured she shot 63 for her lowest round at a major.

This is her fifth event since returning to competitive action on June 16 and she has three top-10s in that time. "Nice that the putts fell, and hopefully I'll just keep it going." Just enjoy every moment." "Definitely happy to bounce back after that bogey on 8."

The Canadian shot a 7-under 64 to be among the leaders after the first round at the fourth of five major championships on the LPGA Tour's schedule.
“I was like, ‘OK, this is going to be all right.’ Just tried to keep that going, make as many birdies as I could,” Henderson said. This championship, like the Chevron Championship in April, is contested at the same course each year. The Canadian, who was teeing it up for the first time since the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship in late June, made six birdies to go with her closing eagle. “That was the main thing with left-hand-low for me. Brooke Henderson took one last look at the long eagle attempt on her final hole of the day and rocked her shoulders hard, back and forth. I feel like I haven’t really done that this year, so feels good to get one here.”

Birdies on Nos. 12, 13, 15 and 17 sent her out with a 4-under 32. Maybe it was a quick snack at the halfway house, but the Canadian came out guns blazing on the second side. The remaining seven holes of her front nine were shapeless as she’d turn with a 2-under 34. She’d bounce back nicely with four birdies over the last five holes of her outward nine. We recommend interesting sports viewing and streaming opportunities. I would pick this over playing in cold any day.

Two months ago, looking for some help on the greens, she elected to change her grip, reversing the position of her hands so her left hand is lower. While she’s giving lots of credit to the French delicacy for her play, it’s more likely her putting that is the reason for her 14-under-par score.
