Nelly Korda to Keep a ‘Sad Face’ at the Andalucia Showdown While Her Biggest Rival’s ‘Fun’ Will Never Stop, Thanks to Her Biggest Supporters
The much-anticipated Solheim Cup showdown begins today. After two consecutive Solheim Cup losses, Team US is looking to avoid a three-peat. While the excitement is palpable, LPGA star Nelly Korda is missing someone really close.
On the other hand, Team Europe’s Madelene Sagstrom is all charged up. In a Solheim Cup pre-tournament interview at Andalucia, Spain on Thursday, she shared her excitement and anticipation. In contrast, her rival Nelly, by her own admission, is a bit of a “sad face” ahead of the patriotic showdown.
In a pre-tournament interview in Andalucia, Spain on Thursday when asked Nelly Korda how she feels to be playing here alone this time without her sister on her side, Nelly mentioned, “Yeah, I’m definitely sad to not have Jess here. First Solheim Cup without her. It’s definitely been a little different.” Jessica Korda, Nelly’s elder sister recently announced her pregnancy due to which she is on a hiatus.
She further added, “But I think the bigger picture, whenever I get to represent my country it’s been so much fun, and I get to experience new players and bond with other players too, which is a lot of fun. But, yeah, sad face not having Jess here.”
On the other side, Nelly’s competitor Madelene Sagstrom bubbles with anticipation. When asked about how she is excited about her family and friends coming to support her during the game and does it boosts her confidence, she stated, “Yeah, I have my mom and dad, my brother. He’s got friends. I have my fiancé, Jack’s whole family.
