Caitlin Clark Teams with Korda at Annika ProAm
Caitlin Clark, the Indiana Fever's standout guard, returned to the Annika ProAm at Pelican Golf Club in Belleair, Florida, on Wednesday, teaming up with world No. 2 Nelly Korda for the front nine holes while her Fever teammates Lexie Hull and Sophie Cunningham served as her caddies. The event, part of the LPGA Tour's final full-field regular-season tournament hosted by Hall of Famer Annika Sorenstam, pairs professional golfers with amateurs in a one-day exhibition ahead of the main competition.
Clark, 23, arrived in Fever-themed caddie gear for her support crew, marking her second appearance in the ProAm after participating last year. She began her round with a sliced tee shot but quickly adjusted following advice from Jamie Mulligan, Korda's swing coach. "Honestly, I'm slicing it off the tee," Clark said during the round, "but that was honestly probably my best drive of the day, so I'm happy with it. I just need to slow down. It's so fast and so hard." She later holed a putt from off the green, drawing cheers from the crowd, and noted, "I need a long putt to go in so the crowd can go crazy. I think they're waiting for that."
