Nelly Korda's mid-tournament grip change might have paid off, but the LPGA star understands why it was a gamble.
By her own words, "it's the hardest thing to do in the game of golf," and while Korda still somehow ended up with a U.S. Women's Open title, there are far more examples of golfers who fiddled with their grips and suffered devastating results. The most notable instance might be the most notable collapse in golf history. When Greg Norman blew a six-shot lead in the 1996 Masters, we reported a few years ago, the struggles could be traced to the golfer tinkering with his grip as the tournament wore on.
