SOUTHERN PINES, N.C. – Mina Harigae hasn’t felt confident on the greens all year.
Until today.
The 32-year-old carded nine birdies in a sizzling 7-under 64 to take the first-round lead at the 77th U.S. Women’s Open. Her effort ties the second-lowest round in championship history. It also marks her first round in the 60s in 36 previous career rounds at the Women’s Open.
