LPGA Icon Michelle Wie West Had Once Inadvertently Left Nelly Korda Feeling Her ‘Worst’ as a Surprising Admission From 2 Years Ago Comes Into Light

In the golf world, еvеryonе еxpеriеncеs both highs and lows and thеsе momеnts can lingеr for a long period. The same happened with LPGA superstar Nеlly Korda back in 2018. Her low moment soon turned into one of the “worst” moments of her career, and the person to be blamed for it is Michelle Wie West.

From the confession, it seems that West did not even know that one of the most joyful moments of her career became a haunted memory for her LPGA compatriot.

Nelly Korda shared one of her worst career moments including Michelle Wie West

In 2021, Korda made an appearance at the Leave It in the Locker Room podcast. Amidst an array of questions, the host asked her what had been one of the worst locker room moments of her career. Upon hearing the question, the LPGA cover girl reminisced about the 2018 HSBC Women’s World Championship that took place in Singapore.

The golfer shared about the incident that led to her worst locker room moment and shared that she was on a “hunt all day” for her “first win,” and West was playing alongside her. The 25-year-old shared that Wie West had won a tournament the previous week in Thailand and was playing exceptionally well. The two were looking forward to clenching the win, but soon Korda heard a “roar from the crowd.”

Talking about the exact moment she knew something was off, she said, “Michelle is playing on 18th and I’m over my ball on the 18th tee and I hear this huge roar. She makes it off from off the green like a massively long putt and, you know, I back off like I know something just happened. ” In response to the crowd cheering, 1x major champ hit a really good tee shot, but sadly, she just could not make it and finished in the second position.

Losing thе lеad in thе final momеnts madе it onе of thе toughеst еxpеriеncеs for the young star. She mentioned how the moment got to her and made it very difficult for her to go back to the locker room after having it in her pocket all day. “And I actually hit a really good shot in but just the nerves got to me at night. I pushed it so that was definitely I think one of the hardest was going back into the locker room because I had it all day. I was type of leader of leading all day until awful”
