On a day when Australia's top women golfers may have found their British Open hopes gone with the wind at the home of golf, American world No.1 Nelly Korda has shown them the way at St Andrews.
None of the seven-strong Australian contingent were able to fare better than Steph Kyriacou's four-over par 76 on a blustery Thursday when gusts of up to 65kph ensured the Old Course bared its teeth.
It was a tough old day with golf balls wobbling on the tees and greens as the wind threatened to make the game almost unplayable at times. American star Rose Zhang reckoned she could barely stand up without losing balance.
