Women’s PGA Championship: Intimidating Sahalee awaits Nelly Korda, rest of field

By TIM BOOTH AP Sports Writer

SAMMAMISH, Wash. — Inside her yardage book, Nelly Korda keeps the markings simple. The No. 1 player in the world denotes the spots she needs to avoid hitting by writing X’s.

At Sahalee Country Club, with Douglas fir, red cedar and hemlock trees framing every fairway and making each look like a hallway, there are likely to be a substantial amount of those X marks outside the short grass.

“Every hole looks a little different. They’re all intimidating and great in their own way,” Korda said.
