The final day of the Masters is underway with the golfing greats competing for the Green Jacket. However, for the Tiger Woods stans, the Major came to an end following his withdrawal. While the sad loss may have upset many fans, it led to LPGA star Nelly Korda sharing an update with her fans.

Like many pro golfers in the professional circuit, the younger Korda sister has also disclosed her admiration for the 15-time Major winner. However, 47-year-old Woods may not have the same level of golfing attributes as he once did during his prime. Despite that, Nelly flew to Augusta to watch the Hall of Famer.
