Nelly Korda’s Success “Strained” Her Relationship With LPGA Colleague’s Brother; the Latter Makes a Hilarious Revelation
Nelly Korda‘s 2024 season has been amazing thus far, especially considering that she had a 14-month winless skid last season. This is without a doubt one of her greatest comebacks. She aimed to win her sixth championship at the Cognizant Founders Cup after her triumph at the Chevron Championship, but it didn’t happen. Despite the incredible run of five straight victories, could it have any unfavorable impacts? Perhaps!
It may have more of an effect on the other pros than on Korda. It all started when Korda received a recent invitation to appear as a guest on Ryan Ruffles’ YouTube channel. In case you didn’t know, Ryan Ruffles is the brother of LPGA pro, Gabriela Ruffles, who frequently appears in competition with the #1 golfer, including the recent Cognizant Founders Cup.
The invitation’s primary concept was a duel between Korda and Ruffles. But during their time together, Ruffles also engaged in some casual conversation, which is when he shared something fascinating. Riding in a golf cart, he disclosed, “You have just been beating up all the girls my sister included and I know she is not happy about that really put a strain on our friendship” Ryan Ruffles and Korda are close friends, and he made a humorous remark about how her winning streak is straining their friendship.
While Ryan Ruffles held this belief, Korda had a different perspective. She started by revealing, “I feel like everyone always puts a lot of work in, like every professional.” Even as she acknowledged the presence of other pros, she also emphasized that “it feels so rewarding to see all that hard work pay off.” After this revelation, they proceeded with their match.
