(UPDATE) LANCASTER, Pennsylvania — Former champion Yuka Saso leaned on her putter to survive a brutally tough start to the US Women's Open on Thursday, an opening round that featured Nelly Korda making a 10 on her third hole and only four players barely beating par.

Saso had three big par putts to start the back nine at Lancaster Country Club, rolled in two medium-length birdie putts toward the end of her round and finished with three putts from the collar of the 18th green for bogey and a 2-under 68.
