15-year-old golfer in prestigious US Open
15-year-old amateur golfer Jessica Korda – the daughter of former tennis player Petr Korda – has made it to the final round of the prestigious US Open. Only one other Czech player has ever made it as far. Korda clinched the 58th spot - tied with four other players - ahead of former US Open champion Laura Davies of Great Britain, as well as young US star Michelle Wie, who, along with 80 other golfers failed to make the cut. Korda originally started in tennis like her father (the winner of the 1998 Australian Open) but then moved to golf. She studies at a golf academy in Florida; her famous father has been her caddy.
