It’s fun to watch people have fun, and Nelly Korda is having a blast this week at the Solheim Cup.
We’ve seen an effervescent side of Korda at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club, one that’s been radiant and inviting, making you want more from the 26-year-old every time she steps out of the tunnel to cheer on her teammates or play in a match.
Korda is enjoying every second of this experience, and it’s obvious.
It’s not to say that Korda isn’t always like this. We aren’t often privy to her personality off the course because a camera isn’t trained on her 24/7 when the clubs are in the closet. We get glimpses of it on social media, when Korda shares a fit check or a funny-faced selfie on her Instagram story.
But she often possesses a measured stealth on the golf course, a calm, cool and collectedness that lends itself to the kind of success that Korda has had since turning professional.
You can’t win six LPGA Tour titles in seven starts or capture two major championships without it, and becoming Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings No. 1 isn’t easily done for those who don’t take their craft incredibly seriously.
