Caitlin Clark had a wholesome interaction with her caddie during the Annika Sorenstam's Pro-Am. The Indiana Fever star played in the tournament with the No. 1 player in the LPGA tour, Nelly Korda and Sorenstam, a multiple-time major winner.

During a stop, Clark talked with Colton Herta, an IndyCar driver for Andretti Global and Marcus Ericsson, a former Formula 1 driver competing in the same category. Clark told them they didn't need to carry the bags for her, but they were ready to do whatever she needed.

“You guys didn’t actually have to carry the bags," Clark started.

After they said they were planning to give Clark some pointers about her game, she said she was waiting for them and even asked if they wanted to take a shot for her.

"Do you guys wanna hit one of my shots for me?” she said.
"I’m too nervous when there’s too much people," Herta responded.
“Hey, I almost nailed one of them," Clark replied.

Caitlin Clark brought a lot of attention to this competition as plenty of fans tuned in to watch her compete against high-profile names in the world of golf. She participated in the scramble event, playing the first nine holes with Korda and the last nine with Sorenstam at Pelican Golf Club in Bellaire, Florida.

Nelly Korda shared her thoughts on Caitlin Clark's golf abilities

Nelly Korda gifted Caitlin Clark three signed golf balls. The Floridian told the Fever star that she wanted a basketball signed in return and Clark obliged.

“It was great to see how relaxed she was,” Korda said, per The Mirror. “Obviously with the media attention she has gotten probably in the past year and a half, two years, you can see how she's comfortable playing in front of a larger crowd. And she was just really enjoying it. You can tell.
“She's definitely very talented. She was picking the ball really clean. She was losing a couple shots to the right, but I asked her how many times a week she plays and I think with the amount of obligations she has she probably gets to the golf course once a week. So just play once a week she was playing really well.”

Clark has shown off her golf skills over the last year and while fans wait to find out if she'll join Unrivaled League, the WNBA ROY is enjoying herself on the course.
