The Women's British Open at St. Andrews got off to a windy start, with gusts of up to 40 mph causing difficulties for the players. Despite the challenging conditions, Charley Hull of England managed to take the early lead after shooting a 5-under 67 in the first round.
Hull, who is seeking her first major title, showcased her skills by sinking six birdies, including a crucial 6-foot putt on the 18th hole. She was closely followed by top-ranked Nelly Korda and Ruoning Yin of China, both finishing at 4 under par.
