"She's got game"; "Sportsperson of the year" - Fans in awe as $5M-worth WNBA superstar misses a hole-in-one by inches

Fans on social media have reacted to WNBA star Caitlin Clark's impressive par-3 golf game. Clark and the Indiana Fever faced an exit in the 2024 playoffs and thus, the youngster has been enjoying her offseason.

Clark posted a video on Tiktok of her having a par-3 competition with her pal Lexie Hull. In the video, Clark was dressed in a light-coloured pullover, black pants, and pink athletic shoes. In the initial frames, she could be seen in her ready position at the tee box on a golf course. The caption stated:

"come play a par 3 with us"

Caitlin Clark then took a clean shot and got all excited when the ball landed a few inches away from the hole. She celebrated the shot with her Indiana Fever teammate and laid down on the grass after the great shot.

In the next frames, Lexie Hull in a black outfit with a white cap, was seen taking her tee shot. Clark praised Hull and exclaimed, 'Good shot!' The 22-year-old then scored a birdie on the hole and won the par-3 competition.

The video was reposted on X by the popular golf account NUCLR GOLF.

Fans in the comment section were in awe of the $5M-worth WNBA superstar and heaped praise on her.

"Sportsperson of the year. No question," wrote a fan.

"She’s got game, " another fan commented.

Some compared her talent on the basketball court to the golf course while others said that she is running out of records to break.

"I knew her jump shot but was better than mine and now her swing is? Not fair," a fan wrote.

"It was inches away then the ball rolled a bit further. She’s running out of records to break in the WNBA lol," another fan commented.

Caitlin Clark has had a great 2024 season in the WNBA. She was awarded the title of WNBA Rookie of the Year as she averaged 19.2 points, 8.4 assists, and 5.7 rebounds per game. The Iowa native also had a fourth-place finish in the MVP voting.

WNBA player Caitlin Clark jokingly said that she'll become a 'professional golfer'

Indiana Fever's 2024 season ended after a defeat against Connecticut Sun in the playoffs. In the post-match press conference, she was asked about her post-season plans. She said, via Golfweek:

"I don’t know what I'm going to do tomorrow. I don't know what I’m going to do the next day. Maybe play some golf. That’s what I'm gonna do until it gets too cold in Indiana. I'll become a professional golfer."

LPGA Tour recently confirmed that Clark would be competing at the Pro-Am event in the 2024 ANNIKA driven by Gainbridge at Pelican. She said, via LPGA:

"I love golf so the opportunity to play in the Pro-Am for a tournament with a legend like Annika Sorenstam’s name on it is so exciting. Gainbridge is a leader in supporting women's sports and that’s clear through their commitment to me, this event, Billie Jean King, and Parity Week."

"I'm looking forward to seeing all the LPGA players on the driving range, being part of the Women’s Leadership Summit, and, of course, teeing it up in the pro-am with Annika," she added.

The tournament is scheduled from 14 to 17 November at Pelican Golf Club in Belleair, Florida. The Pro-Am event will be held on 13 November. She will also be a panelist at the Women’s Leadership Summit which will be held on 12 November.
