On June 20, Beijing time, Nelly Koda's mark on the yardage book was very simple. The first female player in the world will draw an "X" on the points that need to be avoided.
At the Sakhali Country Club, Douglas fir, red cedar and hemlock defend every fairway to make it look like corridors. Nellie Koda's yardage book must have a lot of X marks.
"I think each hole looks a little different. They are all unique and scary," Nelly Koda said.
Nellie Koda became the leader again this week at the American Women's PGA Championship, the first Grand Slam of the year.
But when she came to the Seattle area, her ball was obviously different from a few weeks ago. Before entering the US Women's Open, she won six of the previous seven races, including the Grand Slam Chevron Championship. At that time, no player in the world was as good as Nelly Koda. It seems that it is very possible to win another Grand Slam, not to mention being sure.
But this did not happen. Nelly Koda was eliminated at Lancaster Country Club. She played 80 shots in the first round, including 10 shots in the third hole, and finally watched Yuka Saso win the championship for the second time. Last week, she returned to the Meijer LPGA Classic, struggling to make 76 strokes in the first round, and then 67 strokes in the second round. However, she still missed the weekend event because of the difference of one stroke.
"This week I will stay in my own bubble. When I go out, I will try my best to execute my own ball and be confident of what I have done," Nelly Koda said. "The golf course itself is hard enough. If I put more pressure on myself, I think that will make this week even harder."
Sakhali is the first venue to hold two events since the cooperation between PGA and LPGA began ten years ago. This cooperation has greatly improved the status of the event and the level of bonuses. In this year's event, the bonus reached a record $10.4 million.
The length of the court is more than 6700 yards, and the water obstacle will only play its role in some holes. The par of the course is 72, one higher than that in 2016, because hole 18 has been expanded into a par five hole. The players have noticed that the green is softer than 2016, but the temperature may rise to more than 80 degrees in the first two rounds, when the green will dry.
This week, players' favorite words when describing the stadium are: "Fear at the news", because the wooded channel supervises the missed ball.
"Judging from the tee, the course is really tight, and I think it is a classic hitting course," said Yin Raning, the defending champion who won at the Baltusrol Golf Club last year.
