After last week’s Phoenix Open, Harry Higgs was practicing for this week’s Genesis Invitational when he got to meet one of his favorite golfers. Not only did he get to meet his favorite golfer, Nelly Korda, but she gave him an autograph too! 

The 2022 Genesis Invitational will begin on the 17th of February. The Riviera Country Club, the host of the tournament, was closed on the 15th for the golfers to practice beforehand. Even though Higgs was practicing his shots, he couldn’t help but run over when his favorite golfer paid a visit to the course.

Harry Higgs became a successful fan!

Although it was Higgs who was her fan, it turned out that Nelly had seen and enjoyed his ‘celebrations’ lately. Higgs and his friend and golfer, Joel Dahmen, were on the headlines after they ‘celebrated’ in a very unique way at the Phoenix Open. Nelly might have pulled his leg when she said, “I liked your celebration,” when the male golfer ran towards her to get her autograph.

Higgs later revealed why and when he started to admire her. He said, “She is obviously had a great last couple years, and I am a big fan.” He further explained that Nelly keeps everything simple and believes in herself and her ability. That is the quality of the female golfer which Higgs admires the most.

Higgs further added that she is best at what she does, and he tries to do the same. “Never a bad thing to acknowledge someone who’s great at what they do,” he said in the end.

Nelly Korda is the best at what she does!

Higgs was right when he said Korda is the best at what she does. After all, the 23-year-old reached such heights in her career that the girls at her age could only dream of. She won her maiden major championship and Olympics in the same year; Nelly won the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship and the Tokyo Olympics in 2021.

Korda began this year being the world no. 1 in the world. She has recently announced taking a break from the LPGA events for six weeks.
