MUIRFIELD, Scotland — Playing in borrowed clothes doesn't seem to bother Jessica Korda at the Women's Open. Still waiting for her suitcase to arrive in Muirfield, Korda recovered from an early bogey to shoot a 5-under 66 in the first round Thursday, putting her 1 shot behind leader Hinako Shibuno of Japan.
Korda made four birdies and an eagle on the 17th despite missing her normal clothes after her luggage got stuck at an airport in Switzerland. «If anyone knows anyone at the Zurich airport that would like to put my suitcase on the one flight a day that they have coming into Edinburgh, I'd deeply appreciate it,» Korda said. «I know where it is, I have an AirTag on it.
I can't get anyone to actually go get it.… Monday I wore Megan Khang's pants. Tuesday, I wore my sister's pants and Wednesday I wore Alison Lee's pants.
Today I'm wearing FootJoy pants.» Shibuno, the 2019 champion, made birdies on the first three holes and went on to card eight in total in her 65.
