“It’s Part of My DNA Now”: Nelly Korda Spills the Beans on Her Personal ‘Crazy’ Secret Behind Eight LPGA Titles
Ever tried to imitate the Nelly Korda swing? Korda’s posture and movement are not just famous among her fans; they’re favorites of swing coaches as well. However, the eight-time LPGA Tour winner, despite being the favorite ‘student’ of coaches, is not the biggest advocate of traditional norms. In fact, the rather ‘strange’ position is ingrained in her DNA, Korda admits.
Korda was talking with Grant Horvat after booming her drive shot in a practice round with the Florida native. The two, in a fun match, finished even at 2-under. But the outing was more about Korda unveiling her secrets and chiming in on all things golf.
Nelly Korda golfs very unconventionally
Nelly Korda, after making a birdie, moved to the next par-5 hole and knocked off a booming drive from 498 yards. An impressed Horvat blurted it out. “That was… Killed!!” Korda, however, while picking up the tee, casually exclaimed, “I needed an aggressive line.”
However, being an amateur golfer himself, Horvat was naturally curious about the tee placement and clubhead position of the 26-year-old. The Palm Beach Atlantic University alum pointed out the ‘oddity’ in Korda’s drive. Contrary to common practice, the LPGA star keeps her club back from the steps a little more.
