Nelly Korda on Charley Hull Defeat After Solheim Cup Win: “Thanks for the humbling a** whooping”

Nelly Korda, the world’s number-one female golfer, recently celebrated Team USA’s thrilling 15.5-12.5 victory over Team Europe in the 2024 Solheim Cup. This win marks the first Solheim Cup title for the U.S. team since 2017, and Korda played a crucial role in their success. Despite her stellar performance throughout the week, Korda’s singles match against Charley Hull on Sunday ended in a humbling defeat.

Hull, a rising star in women’s golf, dominated the match, winning 7 out of 18 holes while Korda could only secure one. In a light-hearted Instagram post, Korda expressed her gratitude for the incredible week but didn’t shy away from acknowledging the “humbling a** whooping” she received from Hull, adding a humorous touch to an otherwise tough loss.

Charley Hull, in turn, shared her thoughts on the match and the overall competition, expressing gratitude for her team’s efforts and praising Korda for being a formidable opponent. Hull’s impressive performance in the Solheim Cup earned her accolades from golfing legends like Laura Davies, who commended her shot-making and strategic play against Korda. Hull’s ability to rise to the occasion against the world’s best golfer has sparked conversations about whether she is the new force to be reckoned with in women’s golf. The camaraderie and sportsmanship displayed by both players reflect the deep respect they have for each other, making their rivalry a highlight of the tournament.
