Nelly Korda, the world’s No. 1-ranked golfer, got off to a disappointing start at the US Women’s Open on Thursday, shooting a 10-over-par 81 in the first round. Korda, who is seeking her first major championship title, made a quadruple-bogey on the par-3 second hole and struggled with her putting throughout the day.
Despite the rough start, Korda remained upbeat and said she is confident she can turn things around in the remaining three rounds. “I’m human, I’m going to have bad days,” Korda said. “I played some really solid golf up to this point, and today was just a bad day. That’s all I can say.” Korda, who won the LPGA Tour’s season-opening event in January, will need to make a significant improvement in her play if she wants to contend for the championship. She is currently tied for 144th place out of 156 players in the field.
