*“*Yeah, it’s been nice. I haven’t been back here in a really long time. You know, when you have the vibe that you have on 18, it is a lot of fun, but it is hot out here.

“So, I show much appreciation to the fans who come out and stuck out all 18 holes.“

Korda will have the fans right behind her on Sunday as well, as she looks to secure the 18th victory of her PGA Tour career.

Arpichaya Yubol comments on Nelly Korda final day pairing at Mayakoba

Yubol will be paired with Korda on Sunday in Mexico, and she clearly couldn’t be happier at the thought of playing alongside the world number one.

“All right. It’s like my dream come true,“ the 24-year-old from Thailand said.

*“*So how do you say, like it’s like my dream. I never play with her before. Like Nelly, Nelly Korda, Lydia Ko, so they both kind of like, how do you say, like my idol, kind of like that, because they play very good.

*“*And if I have to play with her tomorrow it’s just like my dream is come true. So my life is complete right now.

“So I just do my best and let everything happen.“

Arpichaya Yubol will have to be at her very best to catch Nelly Korda on Sunday at Mayakoba. She certainly has the game to shoot a low number but much will depend on how the American world number one plays.
