Nelly Korda was at the Woodlands in Texas last week for the first major championship of the year, The Chevron Championship. After completing her final round, she was heading to give a post-round interview when a fan surprised her with a gift.

A fan gifted her a new set of LEGO, which has seemingly become her new obsession and hobby off the golf course.

"Thank you, thank you so much. I love it. I did Spider-Man this week," Korda thanked the fan.

Kira Dixon was standing close to interview Korda, witnessing all this, and asked her to get the LEGO set with her for the interview.

"Bring the LEGO," Dixon said.

"Yeah, I am getting the LEGO. They are getting free ads right now," Korda answered.

During the pre-round press conference, Nelly Korda expressed her love for LEGO when asked about her hobby (via Golf.com).

"I’ve always loved LEGOs. Like, I actually started earlier this year, and it’s just another way to get your mind off things."
"I mean, you can go home when you’re at tournaments, read a book, or you can go watch your favorite show, but when you’re not really interested in any of those two things, it’s just another way to kind of get your mind off of golf," Korda revealed.

Meanwhile, Nelly Korda hasn't won any tournaments on the LPGA Tour after an incredible season last year with seven wins. Hence, she is finding new ways to mentally switch off from golf, and so far, LEGO has been helping her to pull away from the game.
