Injured World ##1 Nelly Korda is in T16 at E 72.
Canadians
Brooke Henderson T40 +4 74, she found the water with her approach at the 9th, then 3 putted for a double bogey7, followed by a bogey at 10th.
Otherwise was all pars, (8th in strokes gained off the tee, and 23rd tee to green) with 1 birdie coming in at par5 14th.
