World No 1 Nelly Korda suffered a nightmare opening round as she shot 10-over after a septuple-bogey 10 at the 12th; watch the US Women’s Open live on Sky Sports from Thursday to Sunday
Among those who struggled was world No 1 Nelly Korda, whose bid to maintain her incredible run of form unravelled after just three holes.
Korda was a massive favourite to secure her third major title after winning six of her last seven events. But having started with a bogey on the 10th, Korda ran up a septuple-bogey 10 on the par-three 12th after hitting three balls into the water.
From the drop zone Korda found the water twice more before finally hitting her eighth shot on to the green and two-putting from nine feet to slump to eight over par.
