Canadian Brooke Henderson was two strokes back at 67 and tied for second after the first round of the Meijer LPGA Classic on Thursday.

PublishedGRAND RAPIDS Mich. — Nelly Korda stumbled again Thursday in her first event since missing the cut in the U.S. Women's Open, dropping four strokes on the first three holes in a 4-over 76 at the windy Meijer LPGA Classic.

Korda shot 80-70 — making a 10 on a hole in the first round — two weeks ago in the U.S. Women’s Open in Pennsylvania. She came into the Women's Open with six victories in her last seven tournaments, including a major that tied an LPGA Tour record for five wins in a row. Henderson, the Canadian who won the event in 2017 and 2019, was two strokes back at 67 with 2022 champion Jennifer Kupcho, Lizette Salas, Benedetta Moresco, Narin An, Carlota Ciganda, Ssu-Chia Cheng, Lauren Hartlage and Daniela Darquea.

Lilia Vu, a former No. 1 player and double major winner last year, opened with a 69 — playing alongside Lee — in her return from a back injury that sidelined her since the Ford Championship in Arizona at the end of March.
