Clark outshone Kai Trump at the event.<\/a><\/p>\nOn the front nine, both athletes found themselves roughly 15-feet apart on the fairway. Clark stepped up first and delivered a solid approach shot to the pin, but Korda managed to edge out the WNBA phenom with an even tighter placement.<\/p>\n
“Let me have my moment, ok,” said Clark with a laugh.<\/p>\n
“Nah, maybe on the back-nine, when I’m not here,” replied Korda.<\/p>\n
“That’s alright,” said Clark with a smirk and a head shake.<\/p>\n
The pair completed the front nine without any grievances, and Korda praised Clark’s transformative impact on women’s athletics.<\/p>\n
“She’s great. She’s so fun to be around. It’s so cool to see how many people she brings to a different sport, how many fans she has, what a difference and how much of a needle she moves, really,” said Korda.<\/p>\n
“It’s really cool to see and just a lot of appreciation for her for coming out here and also supporting us.”<\/p>\n
Korda shared that she observed a strong bond among the team, including the caddies and the golfer. “You can tell that they all get along really well. I did ask them, you know, if the whole team gets along and she said yeah.<\/p>\n
“It’s actually the best. Like our team this year, we all get along really well. And you can see it. They just have this really great energy around them.”<\/p>\n
This positive vibe is expected to carry over to the basketball court when the WNBA season kicks off in May. Korda and Clark have been discussing playing a different kind of game.<\/p>\n
“I occasionally play PIG and I lose every single time. Takes me a long time to really get warmed up,” said Korda. “But actually Caitlin and I were messaging and she’s like, this is unfair. I need to take you to a basketball court. Why are we always on a golf course?<\/p>\n
“So maybe one day. I would definitely like to use some pointers. I don’t know if it’s the shot. I think it’ll be more of the movement for me.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Three-time Annika tournament winner and former world No. 1, Nelly Korda, teamed up with WNBA sensation Caitlin Clark…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":283926,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[629],"tags":[129035,49,735,48,6673,95806,129036,82,630,129037],"class_list":{"0":"post-283925","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-wnba","8":"tag-basketball-section","9":"tag-ca","10":"tag-caitlin-clark","11":"tag-canada","12":"tag-golf-section","13":"tag-nelly-korda","14":"tag-pro-am-event","15":"tag-sports","16":"tag-wnba","17":"tag-womens-athletics"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/283925","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=283925"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/283925\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/283926"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=283925"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=283925"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=283925"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
