“Our champ didn’t look happy yesterday — weather + struggles = disappointment”

Guys, I honestly feel for Nelly right now. She’s sitting at World No. 2 and still hasn’t snagged a win in 2025, even though she’s been crazy consistent with top finishes. Her stats are solid — a 69.89 scoring average and 20th in putting — but you could just see how those weather delays were messing with her rhythm.

This wasn’t just another tournament. A win here at the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship would have been massive — not just for her confidence, but for the Race to the CME Globe and the Rolex Rankings too. Plus, with that $3 million purse on the line, it could’ve been a game-changer in the Player of the Year race.

She actually finished her opening round pretty strong, and I thought “Okay, here we go!”… but then the storms rolled in, and everything got thrown off. You could almost feel the frustration on her face. Now she’s stuck waiting, not knowing when play will resume, and that uncertainty can mess up even the best player’s momentum.

It just hurts to watch because you know how badly she wants this — for her season, her legacy, and for us fans who believe in her. 💔
