Sorenstam, Korda hail Clark's sporting impact
The Straits Times
|November 15, 2024
Caitlin Clark is no stranger to large crowds, given her time in the spotlight as a decorated basketball player in college and now in the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA).
-
The Indiana Fever star dominated on the basketball courts this season but, on Nov 13, the WNBA Rookie of the Year turned her attention to the golf course for a change.
As expected, the 22-year-old made her LPGA pro-am debut to great fanfare alongside world No. 1 Nelly Korda and golfing great Annika Sorenstam.
Clark drew huge galleries at The Annika at Pelican Golf Club in Belleair, Florida, where she played with Korda on the front nine and Sorenstam on the back.
There was a crowd estimated to be over 1,000 people following her every shot.
