Nelly Korda is a four-time major champion. Kent and Scottie "Worldwide" Leonard break down her win at the 81st U.S. Women's Open at Riviera Country Club — from the 71st-hole birdie to the three-footer that nearly let Charley Hull and Gaby Lopez force a playoff. Worldwide spent the week on-site as a caddy (including ESPN+ Featured Groups coverage with Ingrid Lindblad and Lottie Woad) and explains why Riviera played like a ball-striker's paradise. Plus: why this is the LPGA's third — and best — chance to market Nelly, a Curtis Cup preview at Bel-Air with Kiara Romero's LEAP push, and Schedule Watch on the compressed major stretch ahead. Kent's hot take: move the Chevron to LA or New York for good.
