No problem in Houston for Korda, Green's run cools
By Melissa Woods
Hannah Green’s red-hot run ran out of steam while Nelly Korda found another gear to build a two-shot lead after the opening round of the Chevron Championship, the first major of the women’s golf season.
The top-ranked Australian at world No.5, Green arrived in Houston having banked her fourth win of the year with victory in the prestigious LA Championship.
But Green’s hopes of securing her second major championship title took a blow with the Perth product tied for 59th on a crowded leaderboard at one over, after a costly double bogey on the par-four 12th.
