EP 125: Pressure, Perseverance & the Long Game
This past weekend reminded us why we love this game. At the center of it all was Nelly Korda, who won her first U.S. Women's Open at Riviera — her fourth major — with a clutch birdie on 17 and a par putt on 18 that circled the lip and dropped in for the win. Seven shots off the lead after round one, she made a grip change on her sister Jessica's advice and shot 67-67-69 to close it out. That's not luck. That's what elite athleticism looks like under pressure — and it's exactly what sets the LPGA women apart. Born into arguably the most athletic family in sports, the daughter of Czech tennis champions, Korda's rotational power, her ability to reset physically mid-round, her body that holds its pattern when everything tightens — that's a trained athlete performing at the highest level. The LPGA women move differently. This week at Riviera proved it.
The rest of the weekend didn't disappoint either. JT Poston won a marathon Memorial Tournament in a playoff after blowing a four-shot lead, grinding through a 31-hole Sunday to birdie 18 when it mattered most. New dad Tyrrell Hatton went wire-to-wire at Valderrama to hold off Rahm on LIV. And 35-year-old Ben Kohles chased a fifth Korn Ferry Tour win across 1,016 career professional rounds — the definition of the long game. With Shinnecock Hills and the US Open two weeks away, Scott breaks down what all of it means for your game: why movement under pressure is the separator at every level, and how you can start building the kind of athletic foundation that holds up when something is actually on the line.
