Nelly Korda entered Day 3 of golf at the 2024 Paris Olympics with some work to be done.
She did just that, giving herself a chance to not only defend her gold medal crown but also play for a second straight Olympic medal heading into Saturday's final round.
Finishing with her second straight 2-under par round at Le Golf National, Korda currently sits tied for seventh on the leaderboard and two strokes away from playing for a bronze medal after Friday's third round.

Despite recording a bogey on Hole 1 for the second time this week, the No. 1 golfer in the world made a rather large push in the leaderboard thanks to finding a groove in the last four holes of the Front 9, where she recorded three birdies. The hole that hurt Korda on Friday was No. 17, where she bogied the Par 4 hole.
Korda enters Round 4 on Saturday four strokes behind the lead, which is currently held by New Zealand's Ko Lydia at 8-under par.
"Wish I could get (Hole) 17 back but played some solid golf today in the windier conditions and happy with where I am at going into the last day," Korda said on Golf Channel of her day.
With that, here's how Korda performed Friday's third round of golf at the 2024 Paris Olympics, including her scorecards from Round 1 on Wednesday and Round 2 on Thursday:

Korda shot 2-under par for the second straight day of golf at the 2024 Paris Olympics, placing her in seventh place on the leaderboard at 4-under par overall in the tournament. She was able to make up some ground on "moving day" largely in part due to recording birdies on three of the last four holes on the Front 9.
