'Jason Day Approved': Nelly Korda Mocked For Outfit At AiG Women's Open

Just days after finishing fifth at the ISPS HANDA Women's Scottish Open at 13-under, Nelly Korda is now at Royal Porthcawl Golf Club in Wales for her next battle, the AIG Women's Open.
The world No. 1 had lost the Scottish title to England's Lottie Woad, who clinched her maiden LPGA win, carding 21-under par on Sunday.
Korda, who played alongside Woad for three rounds in Scotland, was full of praise for the 21-year-old. "I was very impressed with her composure, her process," she told reporters during her pre-tournament conference on Tuesday.
"When it comes to her shot routine, especially under pressure and in the heat of the moment ... she stuck to her process every single time."
However, while her words earned praise, her outfit stole the spotlight, but not in a flattering way.
Korda's Tuesday uniform featured an olive green collared shirt with oversized outer pockets and a military-style camouflaged printed pattern, often referred to as a "combat shirt" or "tactical golf shirt".

The look immediately drew comparisons to PGA Tour veteran Jason Day, whose partnership with Malbon Golf has made headlines for pushing the boundaries of traditional golf attire.
"Jason Day approved," one fan quipped on X, referring to Day's controversial fashion sense on the greens.
Day's fashion has been labeled "hideous" and "Goodwill-ish" by critics, and Korda's outfit seemed to echo that same rebellious tone.
Golf Fans mock Nelly Korda's Nike outfit
"Lookin like a real 🤡(clown)," one user posted on X under Korda's Tuesday picture.
While another commented, "Sick and tired of Nike changing the golf attire and getting away with it. No course allows combats and outer pockets so why is it being allowed? Same with hoodies being worn all the time."
"Not good," another fan commented bluntly under the post by Golf Digest.

Some speculated Korda had simply grabbed the wrong outfit. "Got dressed in the dark," one golf fan typed under the post.
Other social media users questioned whether such attire would even be permitted for amateur players.
"Can you imagine the reaction at some golf courses if a player rocked up in that? Be frog-marched off the course and police called. lol. Some courses won't even allow non-white socks!" the comment read.

Red Sox's Alex Cora Walks Back Liam Hendriks Comments After All-Star's Pushback
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora and reliever Liam Hendriks got their wires crossed this week, it seems. On Sunday, Cora said he wasn't sure if Hendriks would pitch again this season, and Hendriks seemed to take issue with it on Monday. The three-time All-Star, who struggled earlier this season and has been out since late May with right hip inflammation, said he was "surprised" by Cora's "slip of the tongue," per MassLive. It was an awkward moment, as Hendriks seemed frustrated with the team and insisted that he was fully confident he would pitch again this season (barring more setbacks).

(Photo by Maddie Malhotra/Boston) More Maddie Malhotra/BostonThe next day, Cora appeared to walk back his initial comments, as he told reporters Tuesday that it "will be great" if Hendriks is able to pitch again this season. He also confirmed that he cleared the air with the veteran right-hander. "I got ahead of myself and we cleared it up and I hope he pitches this year," Cora said, per Christopher Smith of MassLive. Hendriks' tenure in Boston hasn't gone the way anyone would have hoped, but as much as the steely competitor wants to get back to the mound, Boston has to be skeptical behind the scenes that he'll be able to contribute much. Hendriks has a 6.59 ERA in 14 outings this season, after missing all of last year due to Tommy John surgery. He won American League Reliever of the Year in 2019 and 2021, but a lot has transpired since. It would be a heck of a story if Hendriks could get healthy and become a contributor for this bullpen down the stretch. But as the Red Sox are pushing toward the playoffs, it's hard to say he's earned the opportunity to make a postseason roster at this point.

Golden Retriever Has Enough of Dog's Tantrum—Proceeds to Silence Her
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A video of a neighbor's golden retriever, fed up with listening to a dog having a tantrum over a treat, stepped in to mediate the situation, leaving viewers in stitches. In a June 5 Instagram video posted to the account @manhattanmillie333, two dogs stood next to the kitchen counter. The owner's golden mountain dog—a cross between a golden retriever and Bernese mountain dog—named Millie—spotted a special treat on the counter that she couldn't stop thinking about. With her nonstop whining, Millie threw a "begging tantrum" in hopes the owner would cave. The owner told Newsweek via Instagram that Millie was begging for Laughing Cow cheese, served on crackers. It is one of her "favorite snacks." All she wanted was a little nibble, and when she wasn't getting any, she made sure her owner knew how she felt. Meanwhile, the neighbor's golden retriever, Lola, couldn't care less about the treat. She was sick of listening to Millie's cries. Taking matters into her own paws, Lola stood up and attempted to console Millie. She placed her paw on Millie's back, and then on her head and snout, because one touch wasn't enough to stop the whining.

Screenshots from a June 5 Instagram video of a neighbor's golden retriever consoling a dog who was having a tantrum over not getting a treat. @manhattanmillie333/Instagram With a serious look on her face, Lola warned Millie not to beg again. She had seen enough. Plus, she knew firsthand that begging gets you nowhere when food is involved. If either were to be granted a piece of cheese, they needed to relax. Lola's reaction caught the owner off guard. She said she was impressed by Lola's discipline, especially for a golden retriever. "Lola is usually very goofy, so I was surprised she was scolding Millie for being impatient," the owner said. The Instagram video reached over 1.9 million views as of Tuesday, with viewers cracking up over Lola's ability to calmly ask her doggy friend to stop and silence her, at least for a moment. She was only looking out for both of their best interests. "Now THAT'S an emotional support dog," wrote one person. Another added: "That's a well-mannered dog! She can come over more!" Others flooded the comment section with what Lola was likely thinking: "Chill, don't embarrass yourself, stay calm and she'll give u sum."
