Nelly Korda's advantage questioned—Is she ready for the brutal reality check?

Are you ready to witness Stacy Lewis vs. Suzann Pettersen at the Solheim Cup? The action between Team USA and Team Europe will begin soon. The event is in America this time, and there are high chances that Team Europe might witness a lot of boos while the American team enjoys the cheers. However, this doesn’t appear to bother Europe’s, Charley Hull.

With less than a day left for the Solheim Cup to start at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Gainsville, Virginia, the anticipation is running high. Last year, the tournament was held in Europe, but this time, it is in America. It’s only natural that there will be more fans supporting Nelly Korda and other American golfers. While there is a high chance of “USA” chants there are also high chances of “Europe” boos and Charley Hull is ready to face it all.

Recently Golf Monthly shared a video on Instagram featuring Hull. In the video, the golfer shared her thoughts about fans’ support saying “I think we have more advantage when we go America because there are less expectations on us.” While talking about it she further shared her thoughts on cheers and said “When everyone is cheering your name and everything I think that’s way more pressure than when people are booing against you.” Charley Hull believes that the cheering can make it more challenging for a golfer to play, and she plans to use this to her advantage, especially since there might be more support for the American team.

Last year, the tournament concluded in a 14-14 tie, with golfers from both Europe and the USA showcasing impressive skills. Stacy Lewis is now preparing for her chance at revenge, making it intriguing to see how this year’s tournament will unfold. We’ve heard Charley Hull’s thoughts—does anyone from Team USA have something to say? Yes, Nelly Korda does but it’s not about the crowd but the tournament instead.

What are Nelly Korda’s thoughts on the Solheim Cup?

This season has been a rollercoaster ride for Nelly Korda to say the least. From the LPGA Drive On Championship to the Chevron Championship, she was unstoppable, securing five consecutive victories. However, after victory at the Mizuho Americas Open, things changed as she missed the cut at three consecutive events. Despite that, the #1 is looking forward to the Solheim Cup. Two days before, Korda was asked about her thoughts on the tournament.
