Nelly Korda took her recent defeat at the 2024 Solheim Cup with a sense of humor, responding to Charley Hull with the playful comment, “Thanks for the smokin’,” after their singles match. Despite the overall victory for the U.S., Korda’s 6-4 loss to Hull was her worst margin at the prestigious tournament.

Hull, on the other hand, achieved her largest-ever winning margin, making the victory even more significant. Their match was highly anticipated, as both players are top talents in women’s golf, with Korda holding the World No. 1 spot. The U.S. team ultimately won the Cup, securing their first title since 2017 with a score of 15.5-12.5.

Hull’s victory over Korda sparked social media buzz, particularly after Hull posted a heartfelt message about the tournament and included a photo of the two rivals. Korda’s cheeky response referenced Hull’s viral moment of smoking on the course, which had become a talking point among fans.

Hull, who has openly discussed her struggles with stress, has been seen smoking at various tournaments, making it a part of her routine to manage pressure. Despite the lighthearted banter, both players showed immense respect for each other, giving the fans a thrilling match to remember.
