World No. 1 Nelly Korda missed the cut at the US Women’s Open Friday, on a day when Lexi Thompson made her final appearance in the competition after also failing to make it to the weekend.
Leading up to the tournament Korda – chasing a seventh win of the year – was the overwhelming favorite to win what would have been her second major of 2024, having enjoyed a scintillating start to the season. However, an opening round 10-over 80 followed by a par score of 70 in the second ended any chance of competing further at Lancaster Country Club in Pennsylvania. The American finished two shots adrift of the eight-over cut.
” Earlier in the week, Thompson had announced she would retire from professional golf at the end of this season. The 29-year-old, competing in her 18th consecutive US Women’s Open, was 13-over overall and afterwards was tearful answering questions from reporters. “Minus the golf it was amazing,” Thompson, who qualified for her first US Women’s Open aged 12, said.
