# Nelly Korda’s Shocking Post-Solheim Cup Confession: “I Just Hate All the Girls Again!”
In a stunning twist following the recent Solheim Cup victory, Nelly Korda, the top-ranked player in women’s golf, is back to business and making headlines with her surprising remarks about her teammates. After leading the American team to its first win in seven years with an impressive 3-1-0 record, Korda didn’t waste any time basking in the glory. Instead, she was among the first to exit the celebratory festivities, prioritizing her preparations for the upcoming Kroger Queen City Championship.
The adrenaline from the intense competition quickly gave way to Korda’s practical side as she focused on the challenges ahead. With a strict 10:30 p.m. bedtime to ensure she would be well-rested for Cincinnati, her commitment to the sport was clear. During a pre-tournament press conference, Korda delivered a sly joke that sent ripples of laughter through the audience: “Just hate all the girls again.” While her words were playful, they also hinted at the unique camaraderie formed during the Solheim Cup—a blend of intense competition and deep friendships.
Reflecting on her experience, Korda acknowledged the special bonds that develop within the team. “It’s crazy,” she remarked, “the friendships that you do make during Solheim Cup when you guys are all on one team.” The dynamic of intense competition can lead to moments of levity and rivalry, and Korda’s humor perfectly captured that duality.
After enduring a grueling week filled with early morning bus rides to Robert Trent Jones Golf Club, Korda took some time to recharge. She forged deeper connections with fellow competitors, including rookies Sarah Schmelzel and Lauren Coughlin, as well as Rose Zhang, who went undefeated in her matches. The camaraderie and mutual support among the players were evident, but so was Korda’s desire to shift focus back to her individual performance.
Upon arriving in Cincinnati, Korda took a laid-back approach, aiming to conserve energy. She described TPC River Bend, the new venue for the tournament, as “a nice golf course,” noting the impact of the dry summer on its condition. Korda, who typically limits her sightseeing to coffee shops with friends during tournament weeks, chose to spend more time resting this time around, saying, “I’ve spent a lot more time in my bed this week than normal.”
As Korda prepares to compete, she finds herself in a tight race for the LPGA’s Vare Trophy, awarded for the lowest scoring average on tour. Currently holding a slight lead at 70.04, just .02 ahead of Ayaka Furue, who won’t be participating this week, Korda understands the stakes. Her earlier advantage has dwindled due to an inconsistent summer filled with missed cuts and challenging rounds. However, her recent resurgence, including a T-2 finish at the AIG Women’s British Open, has reinvigorated her confidence.
Looking ahead, Korda’s journey continues with the Kroger Championship, followed by a month-long wait before her next event at the BMW Ladies Championship in South Korea on October 17. As she navigates the pressures of competition and her pursuit of the Vare Trophy, one thing is clear: Korda is determined to maintain her focus and intensity, even if it means playfully feuding with her teammates.
Stay tuned as Nelly Korda battles her way through the upcoming tournaments, proving once again that in the world of professional golf, friendships and rivalries are only a swing away!
