Nelly is in her second year playing the LPGA. Jessica is a five-time tour winner.We obviously have a little bit of a sibling rivalry, but everything is very friendly, Nelly said. She does make me want to be a better player, and seeing her win last week, after the tough offseason she's had, was definitely very inspiring. Hopefully, I can step my game up this week and take it home, but we'll see.Jessica is six shots off the lead in Singapore after shooting 66. She won last week in her first start after coming back from a complex and painful offseason surgery, where doctors realigned her jaw, intentionally breaking her nose, the bones in her upper jaw and in her lower jaw. She had 27 screws inserted in her skull.Jessica said Friday shes feeling more worn out from winning in the heat in Thailand last week than anything else.She is keeping her eyes on Nellys progress.She's a great player, Jessica said. Like I say, she's bound to win a bunch. It hard to break through out here. There are a lot of great players, but she'll be very, very close to winning very soon.
Nelly's ascent to the LPGA was completed this fall with a meteoric rise on the Symetra Tour, but perhaps the idea of playing professionally occurred in early 2012 when Nelly, then 13, tagged along with Jessica to play nine holes with golf legend Jack Nicklaus at The Bear's Club in Jupiter, Fla.
