Nelly Korda ties for fourth at AIG Women’s Open and gifts 3‑iron to young fan

World No. 1 Nelly Korda finished tied for fourth place at the AIG Women’s Open held at Royal Lytham & St. Annes Golf Club in England, posting rounds of 73‑68‑73‑68 and ending at 2‑under‑par. The tournament was won by Shiho Kuwaki, who claimed her first major title in a playoff.

After her round, Korda surprised a young spectator by signing and handing over her 3‑iron, a gesture that was highlighted on the Ladies European Tour’s Instagram. The act reflects her growing reputation for connecting with fans, especially younger girls, and follows similar interactions at previous LPGA events.
