A star in the making, Nelly Korda traveled to Augusta to watch her idol, Tiger Woods, play. However, the 87th edition of the Masters didn’t serve to be the most fruitful of outings for Woods fans. After the 47-year-old’s exit from the tournament, Korda suffered another heartbreaking setback, but in her dreams.

Tiger Woods delighted his fans after making a record-tying 23rd cut, placing him alongside two other greats, Fred Couples and Gary Player. Korda must have been one of those fans who was overjoyed to witness the 5-time Masters winner add another feather to his cap. But, still reeling from the disappointment at the Masters, she took to her Instagram on Thursday to recount a Masters-inspired nightmare that was still a fresh memory after a night’s sleep!

Nelly Korda’s Augusta experience is not over yet!

It seems like the thrill of the tournament got to Korda as well. The young golf star took to Instagram to reveal key details about her Masters-inspired dream. In her dream, Korda saw she was in the lead going into the last day. But a putting mistake lost her the trophy in her dreamland. The marathon Sunday at Augusta saw a similarly thrilling final round as Brooks Koepka tumbled from 13-under to 8-under to tie for the 2nd position.
