Korda vs. Horvat: A clash of styles
Korda remained composed, methodically working her way through the course with long drives, precise iron shots, and a solid short game. Horvat countered with his camera-ready confidence and bold shot-making. Despite his five-stroke head start, Korda trailed by just one stroke after nine holes, keeping the match tight and competitive. It was a compelling duel—both athletically and in personality: the stoic tour pro versus the expressive YouTuber.
