In the interview, Korda shared her diet change and how she enjoyed oat milk lattes amid her strict diet. She said, via ASAP Sports:

“No, not yet. I went to this place called Cartel twice, and then another one that actually -- I think Megan recommended the other day. I'm dairy free right now, which is so heartbreaking. I'm hoping it's really just not permanent because oatmilk lattes do not hit the same way…Yeah, whole milk, raw milk girl actually…Just to sort out like my gut issues, yeah.”

Korda continued to talk about her first round of the Ford Championship. She shared:

“Yeah, it was firm and fast out there. The wind kind of picked up a little bit on the back nine, but a little slower, a little rusty on the front, and then got a few birdies on the back…Yeah, Monday and Tuesday I was out here at 6:30 and I tee'd off before 7:00, and then I had an afternoon pro-am time, so kind of saw what it was playing like in the afternoon yesterday.”
