Nelly Korda stumbled again on Thursday in her first event since missing the cut in the US Women’s Open, dropping four strokes on the first three holes in a four-over 76 at the windy Meijer LPGA Classic.
The top-ranked Korda was tied for 133rd in the 144-player field, 11 strokes behind leader Alison Lee at Blythefield Country Club.
Korda, who hit a septuple-bogey 10 in her first round at the US Women’s Open, had arrived at that tournament with six victories in her last seven, including a major that tied an LPGA Tour record for five wins in a row.
