After an even par 72 in the first round of the US Women’s Open at Erin Hills, Nelly Korda was four back of the lead heading into Friday’s play.
However, grouped with Charley Hull and Lexi Thompson, she had an early chance to move up the leaderboard as part of the morning wave, and she took full advantage, carding a five-under 67 to move into a tie for second, just three behind clubhouse leader Mao Saigo.
