‘This Is Gold’- Amid the $11,000,000 Fight for Glory, Competitors Nelly Korda and the LPGA Phenom Face Each Other in a ‘Hysterical’ Challenge

Golf, as a professional sport, is a vastly competitive arena. Now add a major championship to the mix, and it doubles the pressure altogether. That is exactly how the field for the 2023 US Women’s Open looks right now. This stress seems necessary to push the golfers to put together an optimum performance. It may, at times, lead to extra burdens that can hinder the game. Hence, a distraction or a breather is always appreciated in the middle of this battleground.

Something similar was experienced by Nelly Korda and her fellow LPGA Tour phenoms when they sat down for a round of fun sessions recently. The engaging activity grabbed the attention of not just fans but other LPGA stars as well!

With only a few hours left for the $11 million event to commence, two golf stars—Nelly Korda and Megan Khang—sat down for an interesting challenge. This interaction had nothing to do with golf. In fact, it was heavy on the relaxing side of the sport. Summarizing, Korda and Khang took the headphone challenge, which led to a comical face-off between the two friends and competitors.

In the video shared by the LPGA Tour and re-posted as a story by Nelly Korda, initially, it is Korda who has the headphones on, and Khang voices out the questions. Interestingly, the first two rounds concluded with both golfers excelling at lip reading. Not only that, but the depth of their friendship was clearly visible based on the way the two individuals answered each other’s questions.

The 24-year-old Korda appeared to remember details about Khang’s car more in depth than Khang knew about the 2021 Women’s PGA Championship winner’s favorite movie. Nevertheless, it appeared the duo was enjoying themselves.

The game got even more engaging and hilarious when Korda switched to her other native language, Czech. It was rib-tickling to watch Khang struggle while trying to guess “Jak se máš” which translates to “How are you?” in English. Given that the 25-year-old golfer did not understand the language, it was the highlight of the video when she misunderstood the said word to be “sandwich“.

Even Korda could not help but be in tears because of how jocular the whole session was. Her sister, Jessica Korda, and golf fans also addressed the hilarity of the situation and commented on it.

Jessica Korda, Nelly Korda, and Megan Khang are good friends despite being competitors on the course. The Korda sisters even wished the golf phenom a happy twenty-fourth birthday in their own style. Hence, it was not surprising to see the older sibling, Jessica Korda, replying to this fun headphone challenge with a skull emoji, clearly acknowledging how wholesome and funny the entire clip is.

Fans also gathered around the comment section and confessed how amusing it was to watch Nelly Korda and Megan Khang take on the challenge. One fan commented, “Lol this is gold!” Another couldn’t help but find it “Hysterical!!!”. Along similar lines, a couple of other users also chimed in with, “Thank you for making me spit water out my nose“, and “More of this please“.

The Olympic gold medalist’s fan, even in a situation like this, rooted for the star. They said, “Go Nelly”, and “Nelly killed it”. However, one viewer took Khang’s side and commented, ‘I was kind of hoping Megan would stump Nelly with a “wicked pissah!”‘.

Meanwhile, some other enthusiasts acknowledged this as a fun way to ease stress. They mentioned “Real fun. right way out/ no stress“, and “That was truly funny. So fun.” Overall, the challenge served two purposes. One was that it provided a relaxing space for professional athletes. Second, it connected with fans as they got to witness their favorite stars in an element other than golf.
