Nelly Korda declares herself a ‘new fan’ of her Grant Thornton Invitational teammate

Nelly Korda was one of the LPGA Tour’s main stars at the second edition of the Grant Thornton Invitational. The world number one was scheduled to team up with Tony Finau as they did a year ago, but in his absence, she had to find a replacement almost at the last minute.

The need for a substitute came when Finau failed to recover in time from knee surgery. Consequently, Daniel Berger stepped in and became Nelly Korda’s new partner.

After the event, Nelly Korda praised the quality of Berger’s game. Here’s what she had to say (via Golf Digest):

“I’ll definitely star you on my PGA Tour app. He hit so many fairways, really great iron play, and on top of that he rolls it really well. He checks all the boxes. He has a new fan in me.”
