Nelly Korda's brilliance on full display at Chevron. Here's why

THE WOODLANDS, Texas — Nelly Korda has a feeling of inevitability around her this week.

She bogeyed her opening hole of the Chevron Championship — then played the best round of the afternoon wave Thursday to post a 68, putting her two of the lead.

Friday, she doubled her first hole of the second round. But Korda immediately followed with a birdie and another one at the 4th. On the 8th, she bounced back again with a birdie after her only other bogey of the day.

Even when she drove into the tall grass on the 14th hole and had to pitch out, she still managed to save par.
