Aki Iwai leads after the first round of the Evian Championship, the fourth women’s major of the season. According to reports, Iwai posts an 8-under-par 63 to take a two-stroke advantage going into the next round. The coverage also highlights that world No. 1 Nelly Korda has a difficult start at the tournament, struggling in her opening round. While the reports focus on the contrast between Iwai’s strong performance and Korda’s struggles, both sources agree on the key outcomes from Thursday’s play: Iwai’s score and lead, and Korda’s underwhelming round. The Evian Championship continues with further rounds to determine whether Iwai can maintain her position or whether the chasing pack can close the gap.
