Years After Causing Controversy With Nelly Korda at the Solheim Cup, European Pro Shows Off Her Unexpected Charm in One Word

The Solheim Cup is returning next week in Spain and once again teams from Europe and the US will be locking horns. Many players who played in the event in 2021 are returning this year as well. Among them are also the names who were involved in a massive debate on the ten-second rule which caused much fiasco.

The golf pro, who went against Nelly Korda’s move and created a stir at the event, is once again set to return. Before the 2023 event, she showed off her charming and witty side to the world in a fun game. Let’s take a look.

European pro indulges in a fun game on the internet before Solheim Cup

Last time, the Solheim Cup took place in Inverness Club in Toledo, Ohio where Europe emerged victorious. But on the first day, there was a huge controversy during the foursome match between both teams. Nelly Korda and Ally Ewing were playing Koerstz-Madsen and Madelene Sagstrom.

After Korda’s putt rested agonizingly above the hole, Sagstrom picked it up and threw it back to Korda in order to speed things up. But soon a rules official accused Sagstrom of not following the 10-second rule which split the internet. This year Sagstrom will again be playing in the event.

And ahead of her appearance, she played a fun Q and A round on Instagram. She was asked multiple questions, and she was up to the task. However, when she described herself in one word as “weird”, the Q&A reached another level. Fans were charmed, to say the least.

What is the ten-second rule and how it impacted the Solheim Cup?

According to the 10-second rule, an overhanging ball should be given ten seconds to drop into the hole. This happened in the Solheim Cup on the 13th hole when Korda’s impressive putt didn’t go in and Sagstrom threw it back to her. Since Nelly didn’t make the putt, the hole was tied between the teams. But according to the rules official, Korda’s ball was hanging on the hole and Sagstrom didn’t follow the mandatory rule. Finally, it was considered to be over-hanging which created much controversy on the internet. Korda and her partner eventually won the contest by a single hole.

And as the much-anticipated tournament returns once again, the chances of another controversy are high. What do you say? Drop your comments below.
