BELLEAIR, Fla. — Caitlin Clark tightened her ponytail, fixed her hat, took a deep breath, put her hands together, looked upward and pointed her two index fingers in the air—as if to give thanks for what had just happened.

Caitlin Clark is good at golf, but on Wednesday during the pro-am of the LPGA’s The Annika — the legendary Annika Sorenstam is host — she nearly nailed the patrons watching her tee off while hitting her shot into the water.
