Golf glamor girl Paige Spiranac is enjoying the moment for women in sports after a banner week for superstars in their respective sports.
Spiranac took to Twitter after American golfer Nelly Korda won the Chevron Championship, her fifth consecutive victory on the LPGA Tour.
‘5 wins in a row for Nelly Korda! It’s great to see Nelly and Scottie. [Scheffler] dominant,” Spiranac posted.
To clarify: While Korda has won five events on the LPGA Tour this season, she has only won four in a row, not five.
He then made a suggestion that might appeal to the audience: “Now we need to see them play a match against each other!”
Glamorous golfer Paige Spiranac celebrates what is surely an exciting time for women in the sport.
He celebrated Nelly Korda’s victory on Sunday, but mistakenly tweeted that it was her fifth in a row.
She took stock of the week that women in sports have had thanks to Korda and Caitlin Clark
Clark was selected first overall by the Indiana Fever in this year’s WNBA Draft.
Korda then won the Chevron Championship on Sunday, the first major of the year.
It is Korda’s fourth consecutive victory and her fifth LPGA crown so far this season.
But later that night, Spiranac took a full look at the field of women’s sports and was amazed: ‘Caitlin Clark, Nelly Korda and many more! What a time for women’s sports!’
It was just last week that Clark was selected first overall in the WNBA Draft after a stellar college career at the University of Iowa.
This year she became the NCAA’s all-time leading scorer for both men and women, with a staggering 3,951 points scored.
But Clark may not be the most dominant athlete to start the year — that honor may be more deserved for Korda.
Nine LPGA events have been played so far this season. Korda has won six of them.
That includes the first major of the year, the Chevron Championship, where Korda won by two shots against Sweden’s Maja Stark at The Club at Carlton Woods outside Houston, Texas.
It is his fourth consecutive victory, having previously won the FIR HILLS SERI PAK Championship, the Ford Championship and the T-Mobile Match Play.
Earlier in the season, Korda was victorious in the LPGA Drive On Championship.
