After an extended wait, the 2020 U.S. Women’s Open is finally upon us, with the opening round kicking off on Thursday, December 10. Here’s everything you need to know to watch the first round online and on TV.
Previewing U.S. Open Round 1
At this week’s U.S. Women’s Open, the final major of 2020, there are too many intriguing storylines to count. World No. 3 Nelly Korda hopes to take the next step toward superstardom with her first major victory, while her older sister Jessica will try to beat her to it. Jeongeun Lee6 will try to defend the title she won last year at the Country Club of Charleston.
And don’t forget about the three players who have already won majors in 2020 and are hungry for another: Sophia Popov, Mirim Lee and Sei Young Kim. Meanwhile, LPGA stars Lexi Thompson and Brooke Henderson will attempt to add a second major victory to their resumes.
Players will be split across two courses at Champions Golf Club on Thursday, with half the field playing the Cypress Creek course and the other half playing the Jackrabbit course.
