2024 U.S. Women's Open

No thread on US Women's Open???  Shocking!

After an early 10, Nelly Korda shockingly shoots 80 at U.S. Women's Open

---

Korda made a 10 on her third hole Thursday and failed to break 80 at Lancaster Country Club.

I love watching Nelly, but she seems to struggle in our nation's Open.

That’s rough. After her incredible run lately she puts three balls in the water. Made me think of Tiger’s 10 at the 12th on Augusta, also with three submarines.

This is great, I love the carnage. Bring on the "not fairs"

[Vinsk]

Round one had three amateurs in the top ten and 20 players shoot over 80, and the top player is already out of it? Ouch.

No complaints from me. Every  major should test every shot  a  golfer  has.

It seems like any small mistake is exponentially exacerbated in the U.S. Open set up.  This tournament seems to be a very good test on identifying who makes the least mistakes - not who makes the best shots.

In this case they are  playing a  course where a  mistake  means a  bogey  instead  of a  par.

I am hoping Minjee Lee can put together another good round tomorrow and win her second U.S. Open Championship.

Of the remaining LPGA players, she would be the one I will be watching.  I was hoping Nelly would somehow pull off a miracle and make it into the weekend, but that 10 on par 3 on Thursday derailed her any chance of making it to the weekend.

Being  humbled  might  be good for  her  in the  long run

I presume you are referring to Nelly?

Seems like she cannot handle the USGA's set up for some reason.  I am rooting for her to figure it out soon and get her hands around that trophy.

Pretty solid play for Saso. I enjoyed it. Meechai took a beating. That’s a US OPEN right there!

Yes.
