The top-ranked player in the Americans’ Solheim Cup win couldn’t stay at Sunday night’s victory party for long. Following a 3-1-0 week, Nelly Korda was among the first to leave the adrenaline-fueled celebration for the team’s first win in seven years. The 26-year-old’s mind was out of the team room and onto the next event—this week’s Kroger Queen City Championship. If Korda didn’t make her 10:30 p.m. bedtime, she was concerned about being exhausted for Cincinnati.
That “let’s move on” focus was apparent in the World No. 1’s pre-tournament press conference Wednesday when she got in a sly joke on getting back to business while reflecting on her appreciation for her Solheim Cup teammates.
