PNC Championship has hit the ground of the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Orlando, Florida. Due to this, LPGA stalwart, Nelly Korda, has become the talk of the town. Now you may wonder, the PNC Championship is a family event; Why was Korda the only one in the limelight? PGA pro, Jordan Spieth, has given her incredible respect with his words.
The three-time major championship winner, and his father, Shawn Spieth, are participating in the PNC Championship for the first time. However, the duo has been practicing for the last six weeks for the same event. And since it was the first time, Spieth had a pro tip for his father. Spieth’s father believes that despite not being an outstanding golfer, he has been trying his best for the past few weeks. And now he might be double as well as he was before six weeks. However, he was still going; he had a long way to go in the sport.
