Flawless Nelly Korda shows at Women’s Open she can dominate in any conditions

ST ANDREWS, Scotland — As the No. After these first two days at the Old Course, Korda has placed that characterization on notice, posting successive 4-under rounds to start this Women’s Open and give herself a three-shot cushion on her nearest rivals, Lilia Vu and Charley Hull.

She’s a good scrambler.” Hull, left, and Korda were two-thirds of a super group at the Women’s Open. If the R&A were hoping to increase the profile of women’s golf this week then their creation of a super-group comprised of world number one Korda, top Brit Hull and the defending champion Vu — aiming to become the first player to retain the trophy since Yani Tseng in 2011 — was a smart way of going about it.
