Veteran caddie Kip Henley opened up about Nelly Korda’s gameplay on social media. Golf instructor Ryan Mouque shared the amazing stats of the American golfer on his X (formerly Twitter) account on Saturday.
Henley reshared the post on his X account with a long caption in which he recalled his experience of playing with the LPGA Tour pro and praised her for her game. He wrote:
“I caddied on the regular Tour for 20 years. The greatest ball striking round I ever witnessed in any of my groups was by her. I caddied in 2 LPGA events and was paired with her once. She never missed a shot or a green until the last and she putted from the fringe 15 from the hole!”

Nelly Korda these days is having time away from the greens while preparing to defend her title next week. She had a phenomenal time playing on the LPGA Tour last year, where she won seven tournaments. However, this season she struggled to have a single win.

“New range who dis…. Just for the day”
The American golfer hadn’t played in any official tournament in a month. Ahead of next week’s event, The Annika, she is working on her game. In her last outing at the Lotte Championship, she had a decent time and carded the four rounds of 69, 67, 69, and 69 and settled in a tie for fourth place.
This season, Nelly Korda came close to winning an event several times on the circuit. She was the runner-up at the Hilton Grand Vacation Tournament of Champions, where she carded four rounds of 71, 67, 67, and 65.
She was tied for fifth at the Mizuho Americas Open and then tied for second at the U.S. Women’s Open. Some of her notable finishes from this season are solo fifth at the ISPS Handa Women’s Scottish Open, T10 at the CPKC Women’s Open, and T5 at the Kroger Queen City Championship.
She played in 17 tournaments and made the cut in all of them. She recorded her eighth finish in the top 10 this season on the LPGA Tour.
Next, Nelly Korda will tee off at the Annika driven by Gainbridge at Pelican. The tournament will start with its first round on November 13 and will have its final on Sunday, November 16.
It also features Donald Trump’s granddaughter, Kai Trump, who was invited on a sponsor exemption. Other golfers playing include Rio Takeda, Charley Hull, Ayaka Furue, and Maja Stark.
