"Just hate all the girls again"- Nelly Korda's hilarious response to getting back to competing after Solheim Cup victory

It didn't take long for Nelly Korda to return to competitive play on the LPGA Tour after winning the Solheim Cup with Team USA. One week after winning at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club, Korda will play in the Kroger Queen City Championship at TPC River's Bend in Maineville, Ohio.

The transition from playing in a team event to an individual event can be difficult. This topic was brought up at Korda's pre-event press conference.

The world number one said she had a very "original" way of dealing with the transition. Nelly Korda was quoted as saying (via ASAP Sports):

"Just hate all the girls again. (Laughter)."

"No, it's crazy the friendships that you do make during Solheim Cup when you guys are all on one team. You really do create lifelong friendships during Solheim Cup," she added.

Korda further commented on the friendships that formed during the recent Solheim Cup:

"I know Alison [Lee], Megan [Khang] pretty well; also Lilia [Vu]. But all the other girls, like I didn't know Sarah [Schmelzel] at all. Obviously with Rose [Zhang] kind of being younger, grew closer to her. Grew closer to LC [Lauren Coughlin], all the girls in general."

Nelly Korda had an exceptional performance at the 2024 Solheim Cup, contributing three points in four matches. Her only defeat came in singles against European star Charley Hull, whom Korda had beaten in foursomes two days earlier.
