6. Korda’s dramatic win

In December 2017, Jessica Korda had surgery to fix chronic, painful headaches, a procedure that required her jaw and nose to be broken and more than 25 screws inserted to reset bones. In her first start of the 2018 season at the Honda LPGA Thailand, she was still eating out of a straw and didn’t recognize herself in the mirror. She also won that week, firing rounds of 66-62-68-67 to set the tournament record at 25 under to win by four shots.
