Nelly Korda out to become golf’s Simone Biles but USA star’s main goal in Paris is to eat viral pastry treat
Nelly Korda will have her sights on gold again in the Olympic women’s golf event but she’s also got her eye on a sweet treat to celebrate.
USA superstar Korda edged out Japan’s Mone Inami and Lydia Ko of New Zealand to win gold in Tokyo three years ago.
She’s now the red-hot favourite to make it back-to-back Olympic titles in Paris this week.
Korda has won six times already this year
Korda has won six times already this year including major glory in the Chevron Championship in April.
While gold will be her focus at Le Golf National, she’s also keen to enjoy some of France’s best delicacies before she’s tees it up
As with all the golfers at the Games this summer, they’ve been asked a few simple questions ahead of their tournaments.
‘Nells’ has revealed her goal in Paris is to ‘try a crookie’ – a viral pastry combining a cookie and croissant – as well as playing ‘some good golf’
Korda will also be looking to follow in the success of US poster-girl Simone Biles after revealing her favourite sport at the Games is gymnastics.
Korda’s American team-mate Scottie Scheffler romped to victory in the men’s event with a stunning final round on Sunday.
