Houston, Nelly Korda is the problem.

The Chevron Championship has officially turned into the Nelly Korda show through its first two rounds. The 2024 champion of the event is 14-under through the first two rounds after posting back to back 7-under days.

It is always special when elite talents rise to the top at the brightest moments in their sports. This is exactly what Nelly Korda is doing as she chases her third major championship.

To be perfectly clear, at the time of this writing Friday’s round is still ongoing across the tournament at large; however, it appears that Nelly is going to carry at least a 7-shot lead into the weekend. Anything can happen, that goes without saying, but this is more than hers to lose at this point.

Korda has been in peak form so far this season on the LPGA Tour and she is living up to the history that suggested it would lead her to winning the first major of the season.

What can’t she do?
