And a similar incident happened at a recent tournament when the LPGA decided to make things a little more interesting. A video posted by the LPGA Tour featured players who were given a secret task to accomplish during their post-match press conferences. The task required the players to speak a specific word and fit it within their conversation with the media. And it was required to be done in a way that sounded like a part of the conversation.

The first person to appear in the video was American professional golfer, Nelly Korda, who had to fit the word “moist” within her conversation. And she did really well. She said“Last year was a little firmer. This year is a little bit more ‘moist’”. Although it was visible how hard it was for her to not laugh after saying the secret word. Similarly, other players including Brittany Lincicome, Gemma Dryburgh, Ally Ewing, Gaby Lopez, and Angela Stanford were also a part of the whole fun process. However, the tour didn’t leave Morgan Pressel, who is a golf commentator and a professional golfer, out of the gag. But it looked like no one was able to figure out what went on before it was revealed by the tour.
