2, 3 and 5 to pull within a shot of the lead.

The world number two was three-under through 10 holes before three bogeys on the back nine saw her card an even par 70.
“For me, it’s about controlling my emotions, maybe not getting expectations up too high”, she said.
“If you told me I was going to shoot 71 at the beginning of the round, I would gladly take it on this course – a very challenging course”, Khang said.
Spectators watch Lydia Ko’s group on the 10th, right, and Karrie Webb’s group on the 18th, left, during the first round of the U.S. Women’s Open at Lancaster Country Club on Thursday. The 24-year-old from Wayne, N.J., is in her second season on the LPGA Tour and went five straight weeks without making a cut. She has been working on swing changes and it all seemed to come together Thursday as she birdied three of her last five holes to get to 4 under.
Alex, who has never led an LPGA round, produced five birdies in her round of 66, with a bogey at the 18th her lone blemish of the day. “It’s definitely not been as good as I want to be”.
Blaring the “danger” horn at 6:03 p.m., the USGA suspended play at the 2015 U.S. Women’s Open championship Thursday.
“I like when the golf course is playing its hardest, and that’s what we get at majors”, she said. My game then and now is not even remotely the same. “I did a pretty good job except for those two holes”, Henderson said.
Given that she nearly won the U.S. Women’s Open as a 17-year-old amateur in 2005, Morgan Pressel was thought of as being a certain victor of the national championship sometime during her career.
“Really close, just a couple of shots here and there”, said the 25-year-old.
“It’s disappointing because I had a good round going”, said Ko, whose best finish at a U.S. Open in her two starts as a professional is T-15 past year. Last year, she finished 65th on the money list ($224,330), catapulted by a tie for ninth and $72,911 payout at the Women’s British Open in July. The diagnosis was made by Dr. John Oas, a specialist in neurology and vertigo at Ohio State. She moved to 2- under with a birdie at the fourth. Nagel went through radioactive iodine treatments and was declared cancer free about a year later.
American Brittany Lincicome says she’s feeling comfortable with her game. “You need to putt well and keep it in the fairway, but the birdies are out there”. “Defending champion or not, you always get that exciting feeling in your bones when you tee off on the first hole at a U.S. Open”. Choi had completed 15 holes, while Park was through 13.
The 25-year-old Dane rolled in seven birdies, including three on Nos. It’s definitely been a huge motivation for me moving forward.
Park will have been especially disappointed in the halting of play having picked up two birdies in four holes to build some momentum, but she will now be among 56 players to have to resume their rounds tomorrow.

No one was better than Marina Alex during the opening round of the U.S. Women’s Open Championship. “It’s been a tough grind this year”.
