Photos: Nelly Korda goes for sixth straight LPGA win at Cognizant Founders Cup

Nelly Korda put herself in fine position to continue her historic streak after carding an opening 3-under 69 at the Cognizant Founders Cup. The World No. 1 looks to become the first player in LPGA history to win six consecutive starts.

“You know, still a long, long ways away from Sunday,” said Korda, who insists she’s not thinking too much about the streak.

Nancy Lopez (1978) and Annika Sorenstam (2004-2005) are the only other players in LPGA history to win five consecutive starts. Korda missed the cut last year in her only other start at Upper Montclair Country Club. She had Tiger Woods’ former longtime caddie, Joe LaCava, on the bag last year while her caddie, Jason McDede, was on paternity leave.
