Nelly Korda recently competed in the PNC Championship at the Ritz Carlton Golf Club in Orlando, Florida. This was her third consecutive year playing in the PNC Championship, and during the post-round press conference of the event, Korda revealed the two golf swings that impressed her the most.

"Well, I mean, for Lee Trevino's age, the way he hits it and the way he strikes the ball is incredible, and also, I think in two weeks, he's getting a full knee replacement. And you can never go wrong with Freddie Couples, the tempo of his swing and the ease-ness of his entire game is so nice to watch," Korda said.

The 85-year-old Lee Trevino was the second oldest golfer in the field and rolled back the years with his ball striking. Moreover, Fred Couples, a well-known golfer for his impeccable golf swing, practiced on the range at the PNC Championship along with Korda.

Nelly Korda competed in this event along with his father, Peter Korda, who is a former tennis pro. Team Korda carded -20 for the event and finished T8 in a field that had 20 teams.

Team Korda is yet to win the PNC Championship, with its best finishing coming in 2022, where it finished T5 for the event.
