Seeking her first victory of 2025, Korda has been consistently performing, making the cut in all 14 starts and securing six top-10 finishes.

The LPGA season has been highly competitive with 23 different winners and no repeat champions, emphasizing the unpredictable nature of the tour.

Nelly Korda recently switched to a TaylorMade Del Monte blade putter, aiming to improve her performance after a winless streak in 2025 despite seven victories in the previous year.

At the FM Championship at TPC Boston, Korda opened with a solid 67, making seven birdies and two bogeys, and is currently two strokes behind early leader Sei Young Kim.

Her first-round score of 67 included a strong start with seven birdies, reflecting her solid form as she seeks her first win of the season.

Korda's switch to the new putter was motivated by a desire for a fresh feel, especially on challenging Florida courses, and she felt confident despite the adjustments.

She chose the blade-style putter despite some uncertainty, citing past success with a similar model and her confidence in the decision.

Korda used a Super Stroke grip on her new putter, different from her previous grips, to enhance her feel on the greens.

Throughout the season, Korda experimented with different putter styles, switching between mallet and blade, and settled on this blade after past success.

During her round, Korda started on the back nine, made five birdies in an eight-hole stretch around the turn, and finished with a score of 5 under par.

Her recent switch to the TaylorMade Del Monte blade putter was also driven by her desire for a different feel after losing her No. 1 ranking, especially on demanding courses.
