Korda returns to stroke play with an infinitesimally tiny lead in the LPGA's Vare Trophy race, the award for the lowest scoring average on tour. At 70.04, she is .02 ahead of Amundi Evian Championship winner Ayaka Furue (70.06), who is not in this week's field. The winner of the award earns a valuable LPGA Hall of Fame point.

Last week, World No. 1 Nelly Korda helped lead Team USA to its first Solheim Cup win since 2017. Korda may have cherished that title even more than the half-dozen wins she's logged on the LPGA Tour this year.

Ashleigh Buhai is leading the Kroger Queen City Championship with a 65. She's coming off two weeks off because the South African is not eligible for the Solheim Cup.

Nelly Korda moved to 3-0 on the week, flipping her match alongside Allisen Corpuz, to lead the U.S. to a 2-2 result, which after trailing in three of the four matches at one point, now sees the home side up 8-4 entering Saturday afternoon’s fourball session.
