Groupings and tee times for the second round of the 50th AIG Women’s Open, held at Royal Lytham & St Annes Golf Club in Lancashire.
Haeran Ryu made the dream start to her bid for a third consecutive major title, having already won the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship and Amundi Evian Championship, posting an opening-round 66 on Thursday morning.
Ryu is joined in the marquee group by Lydia Ko and Nelly Korda, who struggled to a two-over 73 and needs an improved second round to reignite her push for a third major victory of the season.
Lottie Woad can build on her bogey-free 69 when she also goes out among the afternoon starters for the second round, while Charley Hull tees off in the morning wave at 8.42am alongside Hannah Green and Brooke Henderson.
