When asked if her dislike stemmed from an allergy, the Indiana Fever star responded, “No,” and explained, “There was this black cat on my street growing up, and it was so mean. I’m scarred. So, I’m really scared of cats.”

“So, I’m sorry if any of you have a cat, I just don’t. I like dogs a lot, but no cats,” she told Sports Illustrated.

Clark also shared some anxieties about her participation in the LPGA event. Although she’s a dominant figure on the basketball court, stepping onto the golf course had her feeling a bit out of her element. Before teeing off on Wednesday, November 13, she expressed, “I’m going to hit some good, I’m going to hit some bad.”

“Just going to try not to hit anyone standing outside of the ropes. But it’ll be fun.” (Per Yahoo! Sports).

“I’ve tried to take as much time as I can to practice, but there is only so much hope,” she joked. “You just cross your fingers, pray.”

Everybody thought I was serious. I was not serious,” she explained with a smile, as per Yahoo! Sports.

“I love it. I love being outside and making it competitive with my friends.”
