Korda rebounded from an opening 72 with a dazzling 6-under 66 at Tiburon Golf Club on a sunny, windswept day in south Florida. The bogey-free round included a hole-out for eagle on the third hole. The World No. 1 headed to the range after Thursday’s round and came away with one simple swing thought.

Surprise, surprise – Nelly Korda is back in contention at the CME Group Tour Championship. The world No. 1, looking to close out her superstar-cementing season with back-to-back wins and a $4 million bonus, carded a bogey-free 66 that rocketed her into the top 5 in Naples.

With this eagle, Korda moved to -2 for the day and event, as she remained even par on day one and was in the middle half of the leaderboard. She is currently ranked T5 with a score of -5, having carded three birdies after her eagle.
