Annika Sorenstam is a 'big fan' of Nelly Korda; not surprised at breakout year

Annika Sorenstam has taken notice of world No. 1 Nelly Korda, who is exciting the women's game even quicker than Sorenstam once did.

Sorenstam didn't win her first of 10 majors and 72 LPGA events until the 1995 U.S. Women's Open when she was 24 years old. Korda, however, is already a seven-time LPGA winner and a major champion at 23 years old.

And in an interview with Forbes, Sorenstam said she's a "big fan" of Korda and believes she's just getting started in her young career.

“Nelly really did have a breakout year, and yet it was not a surprise," she said.
