World No. 1 Nelly Korda is drawn in a star-studded grouping for the opening rounds of the AIG Women’s Open at Royal Lytham & St Annes. Multiple outlets report that Korda will play alongside back-to-back major winner Haeran Ryu in the first two rounds. The pairing sets up an early test at the season’s event, with both golfers entering as prominent figures on the women’s circuit. The reports focus on the structure of the grouping for the initial stages of the tournament, highlighting the combination of Korda’s top ranking and Ryu’s recent major form. Both sources agree on the key details: Korda’s world ranking, Ryu’s major-winning status, the venue, and that the grouping applies specifically to rounds one and two. Beyond the initial draw and the noted matchup, neither source provides additional specifics about the full field of partners for subsequent rounds.
