WNBA sensation Caitlin Clark sends tee shot into fans at LPGA event

WNBA sensation Caitlin Clark may have all the skills on the basketball court but she has a few work-ons for her golf game.

The WNBA rookie of the year sent a tee shot directly into the gallery during the pro-am event at the Annika driven by Gainbridge tournament on the LPGA Tour.

Clark, who has a 16 handicap, was playing in the event’s pro-am alongside world number one Nelly Korda and golf legend and tournament host Annika Sorenstam.

Just a reminder that ⁦@CaitlinClark22⁩ is mortal. She is an absolute delight to follow- talking with fans, making jokes and having a good time.

So happy she is out here playing the Pelican Club. pic.twitter.com/CPZxZ3WrXs

“Yeah, no pressure,” Clarke said ahead of the round.

“I think I’m just excited honestly. I’m not a professional golfer, so I think just having fun. Getting to be with two of the best probably ever to play this game, it’s super fun and special for me. I’m a fan of both of them and a fan of all the women on this Tour.

“I’ve tried to practise as much as I can. I mean, you know, I’m just the average golfer. I’m going to hit some good, I’m going to hit some bad. It is what it is.

“Just going to try not to hit anyone standing outside of the ropes. But it’ll be fun. I’m excited for it.”
