PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — While a relatively unknown American rookie paces the field at the 78th U.S. Women’s Open, a bevy of top names are headed home early from a historic week at Pebble Beach Golf Links. The most shocking of all: World No. 1 Jin Young Ko.
Ko came into the week with 18 of 36 rounds this season in the 60s. No one could’ve predicted the opening 79 that followed.
