“It’s fun been fun to watch”. Korda and Watson met for the first time at the Solheim Cup, the latter referring to her and the team as ‘awesome’.

He even gave some advice, wanting rookies to enjoy and smile. As per Watson, the smiles pave the way, giving everyone the energy needed to go forward. “Even if you’re losing, you start smiling and enjoying the game and watching all these people cheer. It should push you forward, and you got to dig deep”. If one does not get that moment, they have to come back the next day and try again.

Bubba Watson also spoke about Korda again, as she is World No. 1, advising her to enjoy the moment and keep fighting. “I mean she’s number one in the world. So, if I was telling Nelly I would just tell her to dig deep, that’s what she’s done before”.
