Ko, Ryu, and Thitikul Battle for Glory | Auckland News

Lydia Ko’s off to a strong start at the Women’s Open, tied for 25th after a solid even-par 71, just seven behind leader Jenno Thitikul. Thitikul, the world No. 2, holds a two-shot edge over Shiho Kuwaki and Haeran Ryu — who’s chasing history with her third major win this year. Ko, a 2024 British Open champ, is clearly in contention and ready to make a move. Meanwhile, world No. 1 Nelly Korda struggled with a 73, while fellow Kiwi Amelia Garvey shot 76. This is shaping up to be a thrilling tournament with big names and big ambitions. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
