Charley Hull shoots 67 to lead wind-swept Women’s British Open. Nelly Korda is one back
Associated PressST. ANDREWS, Scotland — Golf balls wobbled on the tees and greens. 18 for the last of her six birdies at the home of golf to shoot 5-under 67 and take a one-stroke lead after the first round of the year’s fifth and final major. Among those a further shot back was defending champion Lilia Vu, who produced two monster birdie putts on the front nine of the Old Course — hosting the Women’s British Open for the third time — in her round of 69. “Definitely some of the toughest conditions I’ve ever played in, for sure,” said England’s Georgia Hall, the 2018 champion who eagled her last hole — No. “I said to my coach, it feels like they could call it at any minute because I don’t know how the balls are staying on the green,” said Hull, who was second by six shots to Vu at the British Open last year.
