Nelly Korda gets honest about her final putt on Saturday at the 2025 U.S. Women's Open: "I may have pushed it just a tiny bit"

Nelly Korda shared her honest thoughts about her last putt on Saturday. She is playing at the U.S. Women's Open this week and is over with three rounds. On the third day, she carded a birdie on the 18th hole.

Following the round, Korda shared about her playing experience in the third round, and making a birdie on the last hole. She said:

“It was funny. Actually the greens are tricky out here. Sometimes they're a little hard to read, especially today on some of the ridges where it can break left, it can break right. That was kind of one of those putts where you're like, okay, straight in is a little too simple.

“I may have pushed it just a tiny bit, but right as it was like kind of midway there, I'm like, oh, my gosh, it missed it right, and then sometimes you just have to get lucky with a nice ice cream swirl around the cup.”

Nelly Korda's total score for the third round was 73, and she would play the last round on Sunday.
