Nelly Korda put up a great performance at TPC River’s Bend. She went up against the best of the best on the LPGA Tour and scored 15-under 273 across 72 holes.

The 15-time LPGA Tour winner tied for fifth position with Jennifer Kupcho, Maja Stark, Sei Young Kim, and three other golfers. She was five strokes behind Charley Hull, who clinched the title with a 20-under to claim her third LPGA Tour title.

Nelly Korda’s performance on the LPGA Tour has been decent this year. After dominating on the tour last year, she seems to be struggling through this season and is still chasing her first win of the year.

So far, Korda’s best result of the season is a solo second in the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions. She also tied for second in the U.S. Women’s Open and missed the title by two strokes.
