World No. Nelly Korda, the current World No. The field will include players who have won LPGA sanctioned events in the period between now and the 3rd of July, as well as those who are among the 75 top Rolex Rankings points leaders as at July 3. A spot will be reserved for the winner of 2023 NCAA Women’s Division I Championship.
Anna Nordqvist, a three-time major winner, played Pebble Beach last week for the first and almost aced its par-3 7th hole. She said it was “probably” the most difficult course she has ever played in America.
Nordqvist said, “I got lucky with the weather.” “It began blowing on the back nine but what a fantastic golf course.
The U.S. Women’s Open is going to be a fantastic tournament. “I’ve been a professional since 2009 and to be able to play golf at such an iconic venue is a great opportunity for women’s golf.”
Korda stated that she has never played Pebble Beach. Danielle Kang also said the same. Lexi Thompson first played it last year, during an outing with Cypress Point.
Thompson said, “It is an incredible venue.” Thompson said, “I played it for the very first time at the end of the last year. The weather was perfect. “It was 70 degrees with a wind of 5 miles per hours and everyone was saying, don’t become accustomed to this.”
