The 2024 Chevron Championship brings about the first ever Major of the LPGA Season this year. After the first round of the tournament, it was Lauren Coughlin who led, after carding a score of 66. However, Nelly Korda sits in second place, and is vying for her fifth straight win on the LPGA Tour.
Marina Alex and Minami Katsu are also tied for second at the Chevron Championship alongside Korda, as a battle for the win heats up at The Club at Carlton Woods, Texas. The course has been a tough one to navigate for many golfers and going into the second day, the LPGA Tour has predicted a cut line of +1.
Some notable names that might miss out on the cut after the score of the first round are Rose Zhang, Ruoning Yin, Minjee Lee and Aditi Ashok. The defending champion, Lilia Vu, withdrew from the Chevron Championship before it even began. While the exact reason is not known, the cause for her withdrawal could be due to the back injury she has been battling with for the past several months.
