LANCASTER, Pa. (AP) — For Nelly Korda, this was a most imperfect 10. The No. 1 player in women’s golf had a shocker of a start in the U.S. Women’s Open when she made a 10 on her third hole. Korda hit into the water three times on the par-3 12th hole. The pin was cut to the front of the green near a stream. Korda hit her tee shot into a back bunker. Her sand shot went through the green into the water. She dropped on the other side of the stream, and her next two chips rolled back into the water.
