Update:

The U.S. Women’s Open got underway on Thursday May 29, at Erin Hills, just outside of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Unlike in the men’s game, the women have had five majors to compete for since 2013, with Women’s PGA Championship , the Evian Championship and the Women’s Open, all to follow this summer.

Mao Saigo was the winner of the first major of the year at the Chevron Championship in April. This year Nelly Korda is looking to get off to a hot start as she battles in the same group on Thursday and Friday with Lexi Thompson and Charley Hull.
