SOUTHERN PINES, N.C. — The 2022 U.S. Women’s Open is underway for a record fourth time at Pine Needles.

Ten-time major champion Annika Sorenstam is back at the site of the second of her three Open titles. Nelly Korda is playing for the first time since suffering a blood clot in February.

Reigning champion Yuka Saso is trying to become the first golfer to win the event in back-to-back years since Karrie Webb successfully defended her title at Pine Needles in 2001. Sorenstam did the same in 1996.
