The post-round conversation, after discussing her game, arrived at Megan Khang in its due course. Nelly Korda spoke about how Khang had been there during Korda’s wins. She mentioned how she could not meet Khang at the 18th green when she officially won the CP Women’s Open.

Korda described how Khang had been with her during many of her wins and she felt bad for not meeting her on the 18th. She also explained how Khang was upset by another incident on the same day. “Well, it was her first win and I knew that she was driving down. She missed the Drake concert.”

Then she explained what she did to make the situation better. Korda was living with Khang during the week around the CPKC Women’s Open. She planned for a surprise. “I really wanted to make sure that she came home to a couple [of] balloons, nice flowers from her boyfriend, and I just wanted to make her feel special.”

Speaking of this incident at a conference prior to the Portland Classic, Khang said, “She was showing me my room and totally caught me off guard.” She exclaimed how she did not know that a surprise was on the cards. “I think I like cried for the first time.” She added.

A brief history of Khang’s friendship with the Kordas 

When Megan Khang and Nelly Korda were at a coffee shop recently, the CPKC Women’s Open was still in progress. Ongoing competitions do not seem to discourage the two from hanging out together and chilling.

Often, Jessica Korda, Nelly Korda’s sister, would join the two on their trips to coffee places. Khang is a self-documented coffee lover, and the Kordas apparently love to join her coffee hunts. Their coffee-shop trips have been a thing since 2020 and they are occasionally joined by their fellow golfers Patty Tavatanakit and Alison Lee. 

Korda had once mentioned how she loves Australian-owned coffee establishments, especially family-owned, and loves flat whites. Khang has a thing for iced drinks. You can find memories of their coffee trips on Khang’s Instagram highlights.
