U.S. Women’s Open at Pine Needles: Friday tee times, TV/streaming info

The 77th U.S. Women’s Open heads to the second round Friday at Pine Needles Lodge & Golf Club in Southern Pines, North Carolina, which last hosted the event in 2007.

World No. 1 Jin Young Ko is playing this week alongside Lexi Thompson, who lost last year’s event in heartbreaking fashion at The Olympic Club, and Jennifer Kupcho, who won the first major of the year at the Chevron Championship.

Annika Sorenstam won at Pine Needles in 1996 and returns to Southern Pines to compete in her first major championship in 13 years. She’s playing the first two rounds with fellow U.S. Women’s Open champ So Yeon Ryu up-and-coming Swede Ingrid Lindblad of LSU. Sorenstam opened with a 74, while Lindblad shot a 65, a record low score for an amateur at the USWO.

Last year’s champion, Yuka Saso, is playing with three-time major winner Anna Nordqvist and amateur Jensen Castle.

Other marquee groups:

  • Lydia Ko, Jessica Korda, Hannah Green
  • Nasa Hataoka, Brooke Henderson, Minjee Lee
  • Nelly Korda, Danielle Kang, Attahaya Thitikul
  • Michelle Wie West, Brittany Lang, Sung Hyun Park
  • Rose Zhang, Lucy Li, Anna Davis

The U.S. Golf Association received a record 1,874 entries for this year’s event. A field of 156 golfers will compete for a $1.8 million first-place prize.

The Donald Ross design first opened in 1928 and was owned by World Golf Hall of Famer Peggy Kirk Bell and her husband Bullet. The course this week measures 6,638 yards and will play as a par 71.

The U.S. Women’s Open is using split tees, the 1st and the 9th, this week.
