At that point, Ko delivered an impressively earnest answer.
“I hope not,” Ko said. “It’s that time of the month. I know the ladies watching are probably like, ‘Yeah, I got you.’ So, when that happens, my back gets really tight, and I’m all twisted. It’s not the first time that Chris has seen me twisted, but it felt a lot better after he came. So, yeah, there you go.”
After hearing the response, there was some silence, Foltz left temporarily speechless. Without a follow-up question, he simply said, “Um… thanks.”
Ko then helped break any potential tension: “I know you’re at a loss for words Jerry. Honesty it is.”
Here’s a video of the interview:

One of Foltz’s colleagues at Golf Channel noted the exchange afterwards.
If only @JerryFoltzGC could've thrown it #To12. #lydia
