Prior to teeing off tomorrow, the Pelican Golf Club hosted a discussion session with Annika Sorenstam, Caitlin Clark, and others at the Ball Room. Agness reported there was no room left for another person to get in.

During that discussion, Clark went on to reveal that she is still working on improving at golf. As the WNBA season starts in the summer, it prevents her from playing the sport more. But knowing that she can get quite competitive, the host asked her what motivates her, to which she said that she wants to be the best there is.

I think wanting to be the best. I don’t want anyone to be better than me. In whatever it is. I just want to be better than everybody else.
