‘I Cried After’: Nelly Korda Got Candid and Reminisced Her ‘First Kiss’ in a 2020 Interview

The first kiss can go either way. For some, it might be the best moment of their lives, whereas inexperience can ruin it for others. For the American professional golfer Nelly Korda, it was different. She still remembers the feel of it and considers it the best she ever had.

“Aw… this was my first kiss,” the world no. 4 golfer told in an interview. “Best kiss too.” Korda couldn’t handle her smile after seeing the picture of her kissing her first trophy as a professional.

Notably, the interview was about going through one’s Instagram feed and explaining each photo uploaded there. While she casually explained the other photos on her feed, the golfer couldn’t keep a proud grin off of her face after seeing the photo she uploaded after winning her first championship. 

Nelly Korda has a special place for her first title in her heart

In 2018, at the Swinging Skirts LPGA Taiwan Championship, Nelly Korda won her first-ever championship on the LPGA Tour. Notably, she turned pro in 2016 and has earned her ticket to play on the Tour since 2017. However, she couldn’t win a title until next year.

“It’s nerve-racking…” Korda explained how she felt after winning the first title on the Tour in the exclusive segment with Golfing World YouTube channel. “Like, you’re going through all your emotions,” she added. “I cried after.”

Furthermore, the little Korda sister explained how her big sister, Jessica Korda, face-timed her and cried with her. Notably, Jessica Korda is also a professional golfer and began her career years before the former world no. 1 did.

“Her mascara was everywhere,” N. Korda reminisced about one of the best moments in her life. Interestingly, whenever the 24-year-old has won on the Tour, she has made sure to upload a picture of her kissing the trophy on her Instagram. 

How many titles has the former world no. 1 won on the LPGA Tour? 

After winning the Swinging Skirts LPGA Taiwan Championship in 2018, it took her almost six months to win another title. She won it at the 2019 ISPS Handa Women’s Australian Open. Ever since then, she has won another five of them, including the 2021 Women’s PGA Championship.

The youngest of the Korda sisters has also won the gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics. Notably, she is the first player, man or woman, to win a major and Olympic gold in the same year. 

Korda is still young and has many years left to play professional golf. So, we hope to see her fill her Instagram feed with pictures of her kissing championship trophies, week after week.
