Coffee connoisseur Nelly Korda approves another city’s brew
Coffee connoisseur Nelly Korda was highly impressed by the beverage of Salt Lake City in Utah. The American golfer has taken a break from the greens. This week, LPGA Tour players teed it up at the 2024 Buick LPGA Shanghai in Minhang District, Shanghai, Republic of China.
The tournament is scheduled to take place from 10 to 13 October. It features a stellar field of golfers including Leona Maguire, Celine Boutier, Alexa Pano, Anna Nordqvist, and Minjee Lee. However, Korda is missing from the field.
Korda enjoyed her time in Utah and shared a post approving the coffee of Salt Lake City. She shared a picture of her coffee cup on her Instagram account, where she has 1 million followers, and wrote:
"Salt Lake City gets my coffee approval."
Nelly Korda took a break after a successful outing on the LPGA Tour this year. She has played in 19 professional events in her career and won six of them. The World No. 1 started her season at the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions, where she finished in a tie for 16th.
After a decent start to the season, Korda competed at the LPGA Drive On Championship and won after shooting four rounds of 65, 67, 68, and 73.
Korda then registered a victory at the FIR HILLS SERI PAK Championship and followed it with another win at the Ford Championship. Intriguingly, she has won five back-to-back events, including her two wins at the T-Mobile Match Play and The Chevron Championship.
Korda then won the Mizuho Americas Open, marking her sixth win of the season. She last played at the Kroger Queen City Championship, where she tied for fifth place.
