When you watch Nelly Korda and Charley Hull play golf, their quick pace is immediately evident. There isn’t tons of deliberation before every shot. Select a club, pick a target, hit the shot. Simple.
You wouldn’t know that if you tuned in over the weekend to watch The Annika, though.
As Korda and Hull dueled over the final 36 holes at Pelican Golf Club in the LPGA’s penultimate event of the season, the pace ground to a halt. Playing in the final group on Saturday, the duo needed five hours and 38 minutes to complete their third round. The pace was so slow that they finished the round after dusk with the sun setting on them as they played the 18th hole.
