“She’s going dog sledding” – Daniel Berger shares hilarious moment with Nelly Korda at the Grant Thornton Invitational

Daniel Berger opened up about playing with Nelly Korda at the ongoing Grant Thornton Invitational. The American golfer replaced Tony Finau, who was initially scheduled to join Korda in the mixed-field event. However, Finau withdrew from the competition because of an injury, and Berger joined the field.

Korda and Berger had an impressive start to the game, and after two rounds, they were tied for tenth place. Following the end of the second round, the two shared a hilarious moment during the press conference.

While discussing what they had learned about each other, Berger revealed Korda’s love for snow. The amusing exchange unfolded as Berger stumbled over the term “dog sledding.” Berger said,

“What I found out is that she likes the snow and she likes…what is it? Sled dogging?”

“No, dog sledding,” Korda corrected him.
“She’s going dog sledding,” Berger said, sparking laughter from everyone present.

The 2024 Grant Thornton Invitational is a three-day mixed-field event featuring some of the top-ranked LPGA Tour and PGA Tour players. After two rounds of the event, Jake Knapp and Patty Tavatanakit are in the lead at 20-under.
