Nelly Korda, the world number one, has been on a hot streak, winning six of her last seven tournaments. However, she missed the cut at the US Women’s Open after a disappointing opening round of 80. In the second round, she improved with a score of 70 but still fell short of the cut line by two shots. Despite making three consecutive birdies on the front nine, she couldn’t gain enough ground to make it to the weekend.
On the other hand, Thailand’s Wichanee Meechai leads the tournament with a two-shot advantage. Meechai, who has never had a top 10 finish in her previous major appearances, shot a three-under 67 in the second round. Meanwhile, Lexi Thompson, an 11-time LPGA Tour winner, bid farewell to the event as she announced her retirement at the end of the season. Thompson finished 13 over par and reflected on the significance of the US Women’s Open in launching her career when she qualified for the tournament in 2007 at just 12 years old.
Despite missing out on advancing to the weekend rounds at Lancaster Country Club in Pennsylvania, Korda’s recent success has established her as a dominant force in women’s golf. With her remarkable winning streak leading into this tournament and still going strong despite missing out on this event, she remains a strong contender for future major titles. On top of that, Wichanee Meechai is proving to be an unexpected leader for this tournament and will be looking to maintain her position atop the leaderboard as we move forward.
As Korda continues to compete and win tournaments with ease while others are struggling to keep up with her pace and skill level. The golf world will have to see if anyone can catch up with Nelly Korda or if it’s only matter of time before we crown another world champion.
The US Women’s Open is not just any regular event; it’s one that marks significant milestones for many players like Lexi Thompson who started off their careers from here when they qualified for it at just twelve years old. The tournament is also considered one of most prestigious events on women’s golf calendar which attracts top players from all over
