Nelly Korda’s quest for a U.S. Women’s Open victory was thwarted last year by Maja Stark, capping a perplexingly winless season. Now, fueled by her near miss, Korda looks to break past those setbacks and claim the championship that barely eluded her grasp.

Nelly Korda birdied the final hole to finish with an even-par 72 in the opening round of the U.S. Women’s Open at Erin Hills. The American golfer recorded one birdie and one bogey in a steady start to the tournament.
