Nelly Korda has a 64 in the cold and wind to take lead in LPGA opener

  • On Jan 31, 2026, Nelly Korda shot a 64 with a 30 on the front nine to lead at the Tournament of Champions in Orlando, as play was suspended due to weather.
  • After an 18-foot birdie attempt blew off the green, officials suspended play due to strong right-to-left wind and Sue Winter said the 17th hole made conditions unfair.
  • Korda's shot-making included a gap-wedge eagle and low, wind-piercing shots that produced her 64, leaving her 13-under 203, six shots ahead of Brooke Henderson.
  • With the round stopped, several contenders shifted as LPGA officials halted play after wind-affected shots; Lottie Woad fell eight shots back and Lydia Ko dropped after back-nine bogeys, while players said `You're almost in survival mode, especially the last holes.`
  • Weather forecasts show the season opener featured temperatures in the 40s and steady 20 mph wind, with worse conditions expected on Sunday.
