The second LPGA Caitlin Clark event started with cheers. literally! She was hitting most of the fans, and she heard she complained, but in most cases she enjoyed what she wanted. Playing with two of the best golfers on your side, who wouldn’t? ANNIKA host Annika Sorenstam was with her for her last nine matches, and Nelly Korda was Pro vs. Am for her first nine. With the world No. 1 by her side, did the WNBA star ask for advice?
Upon arriving at the media center, a reporter asked Korda about her experience playing for the Iowa sensation. The world No. 1-ranked player painted a beautiful picture, while the Fever No. 22 player seemed to enjoy it, praising Clark’s technique: “She’s definitely very talented and picked up the ball really nicely.” But could Clark have one flaw? “She was losing to the right on a couple throws.” The reporter then asked if the WNBA Rookie of the Year had asked her for any advice. “No, she didn’t do it,” said Corda. “The nine holes are a little uncertain. I’m still trying to practice and get on the green and chat with other partners.”
She mostly had nothing but praise for the 22-year-old. “I asked her how many times a week she plays, and she’s probably on the golf course once a week because she has a lot of commitments, but she plays really well when she only plays once a week.” Korda said the event was her first time meeting Clark, but they had previously interacted on Instagram. Before the event began, the two exchanged jerseys — Clark’s No. 22 went to Korda and the Fever defender received his caddie’s bib number, which includes the golfer’s last name — and both signed autographs, celebrating a traditional sporting moment that usually comes after the end of a match. While the world number one could help the “amateur golfer,” as Clark calls herself, the WNBA professional said yesterday that she is confident in her game.
“I’m strong and I can hit. “Things don’t usually work out that way,” ROTY said at the Women’s Leadership Summit yesterday, “I mean, sometimes it works out that way in some situations. Go out there and hope for the best. … I just don’t want to hit people with golf balls. This is my priority N ° 1.
What do you think:
Is Golf Kate Rin Clark’s talent underestimated considering that practice time is limited? What do you think? Any interesting opinions?
Discussion
This reminds me of her earlier comments about golf after her loss in the first round of the WNBA playoffs. But yesterday, she cleared up any misconceptions about how the sport has changed.
Caitlin Clark reveals how her golf comments prepared her for “failure”
Indiana rejoiced this year as Caitlin Clark led the Fever to their first playoff appearance since 2016. But then the Connecticut Sun ousted them in the first round, and the heartbroken guard said in a post-game conference, “Maybe I’ll be a professional golfer.” While her talent in many sports was obvious, she chose basketball as her number one for a reason. No one thought she was really serious, but the Fever guard finally cleared the air yesterday. “I practiced a little bit and then I heard the words ‘I’m going to be a professional golfer’ and everyone thought I was serious about it. I wasn’t serious. Okay… I was kidding. I prepared myself for failure! Yesterday, she talked about going to a high school college football team, but before leaving him for basketball.
Now, when she’s a professional career, she will be a professional career, so she is playing golf. And that moment won’t come for over a decade. In the meantime, Caitlin Clark will continue to rock the hard courts and maybe play from time to time!
