She was crying more than me” – When Nelly Korda discussed her emotional bond with sister Jessica post-first LPGA win
LPGA star Nelly Korda comes from a sporting family, and her elder sister, Jessica, is also a professional golfer. Nelly turned pro six years after Jessica, but the duo soon made their mark on the golf circuit. Known for their close bond on and off the course, a glimpse of it was seen during Nelly’s maiden LPGA Tour win.
Nelly Korda’s first triumph came in 2018 at the Swinging Skirts LPGA Taiwan Championship, where she beat Minjee Lee by a two-stroke margin. Korda entered the final round of the Swinging Skirts LPGA Taiwan Championship with a shared 54-hole lead.
With this win, Nelly Korda joined her elder sister Jessica to become only the third sibling duo to win on the LPGA Tour. During the winner’s press conference, she also revealed her sister’s reaction to her victory.
“She was saying how proud of me she is, and you know, she was crying probably more than me today,” she said as per Golf Digest. “But it’s a bond, like that you just can’t even think of. She’s definitely my best friend. She’s been there every step of the way. She knows exactly what I’ve gone through this year.”

The then-20-year-old played flawlessly throughout the day, picking up two birdies and an eagle to close with a 4-under 68. Joint leader and local favorite Wei-Ling Hsu struggled on Sunday and finished with a 75. Minjee Lee picked up birdies on the last two holes to finish as the runner-up at 2-under.
Korda added the win hadn’t fully hit her yet, and it was tough to put the feeling into words.
“It’s definitely one of the best days of my entire life,” she said as per LPGA. “I can finally check that off of my list, winning an LPGA event, something that I dreamed of ever since I started playing.”

Djokovic learns fate in new home as Sabalenka addresses behaviour
Express Sport brings you the latest tennis news from the Paris Masters.
We’re reaching the business end of the Paris Masters, as eight players become four in the French capital. Jannik Sinner is the overwhelming favourite to lift the trophy after Carlos Alcaraz was dumped out by Cameron Norrie in the Spaniard’s opening match. Norrie was then beaten by Valentin Vacherot, whose amazing 10-match winning streak at Masters 1000 level came to an end when he lost to Felix Auger-Aliassime.
Canadian star Auger-Aliassime will face Alexander Bublik in the semis. Bublik defeated Alex de Minaur, who is among those to have already qualified for the year-end ATP Finals. Sinner is through to his first Paris Masters semi-final after beating Ben Shelton. He’ll face defending champion Alexander Zverev, who survived a tough match against Daniil Medvedev.
Novak Djokovic is not involved in the Paris Masters, having decided to skip the event for the second year in a row, but he has learned his fate in the draw of next week’s ATP 250 in Athens. And over in Riyadh, the WTA Finals are about to get underway.
