Quick Quotes


NELLY KORDA: I felt like I had a little too much room. It's honestly kind of I've run into this issue. I had that with the Jordans too. Sometimes when I wear a different color, they just are made a little different, just the spacing is a little different. It's the exact same shoe. I just wanted to wear these.

Q. Did you feel like it was making a difference in your play?

NELLY KORDA: No, apparently not (laughter). I just felt more comfortable in these, yeah.

Q. Can you just talk us through the round a little bit and how you felt out there?

NELLY KORDA: Yeah, just honestly just hit it really poorly off the tee. Found myself in a lot of trouble on the wrong sides of a lot of these pins. I just felt like I was kind of just grinding to make safe pars.

It wasn't a great day. I hit it really good Monday through Wednesday, so I have honestly no idea where this came from. So I'm going to go to the range.

Q. You said you've been working on some swing stuff over the last couple weeks. Do you think it's related to that or trying to find a feel?

NELLY KORDA: I've just been feeling really stuck in my swing and not being able to release it. I was sending it out right in Cincinnati too. I put in a lot of hours on the range, and I can't seem to really figure it out.
