Korda Storms to Two-Shot Lead at Chevron

0:00It's April 24th. This is El Paso News today, driven by AI. Nelly Corda fired a 7 under 65 at the Chevron Championship, her best opening round in a major in four years, grabbing a two-shot lead. After day one, a memorial park in Houston, patty-to-vaytonocket shot a clean 67 to sit two-back, matched by Somilee, who bow-guide the last. Texas Junior Farrell Keefe missed the five-foot put on her final hole and dropped to 68 with the chase pack. Corda stayed bogie-free, her first in a major since last year's British Open, leaning on clutch par-says early before birding all three par-fives. On the front, nine despite some mishaps off the tee. She lit up the par-threes coming home, sticking a six-iron to four feet on the second for her favorite shot of the day against tricky wind. Coming off four straight final groups this season and a win to open the year, she's dialed in. Meanwhile, world number one, Gino Tittacle stumbled to 74 with late bogies, nine back already, while Menji Lee also carted 74 in.
