Yoon leads Women's PGA Championship, Korda satisfied with 'solid' start

At the Women's PGA Championship's first round held at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minnesota on June 26, 2026, South Korea's Yoon Ina fired a record-equaling nine-under par 63, carding nine birdies to take a two-stroke lead over Australian Karis Davidson. Nelly Korda, seeking a third consecutive major title, struggled in the opening round but remained optimistic, drawing on her experience of overcoming a slow start at the US Open. The tournament marks a significant early-round statement from Yoon on one of golf's biggest stages.
