At this time last year, World No. 1 Nelly Korda entered the LPGA Tour’s first major of the year on fire. Korda had won four consecutive tournaments and went on to make it five by winning the Chevron Championship.

Korda won her fifth consecutive event at last year's Chevron. The difference this year, she said, is that the putts aren't falling.

THE WOODLANDS, Texas — “Have faith” was Nelly Korda’s motto for the second round of The Chevron Championship, and it was one that worked well for the Rolex Women’s World Rankings No. 1 coming down the stretch at The Club at Carlton Woods, as she carded a 4-under 68 to eke her way inside the projected cut line.
