Nelly Korda won’t ever forget her amazing run of five straight LPGA Tour victories, including the Chevron Championship, last year. The world’s No. 1 player knows too well that none of that means a thing this week as she prepares to defend her title at the season’s first major.

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

At this time a year ago, Nelly Korda was in the early stages of doing something spectacular in the world of golf. She had two victories under her belt and was in the process of putting together five wins in as many LPGA Tour tournaments.
