Oh, Nelly! Korda flirts with 59 to build 4-shot Olympic lead

Nelly Korda reached her tee shot on the final hole of an otherwise flawless round, looked up and saw a thick pine branch blocking her path to the green. Any thoughts of the second 59 in women’s golf history ended there. Stronger than ever, even with a double bogey on the 18th hole that forced the 23-year-old American to settle for a 9-under 62 to tie the Olympic record in women’s golf.
