GRAND RAPIDS Mich. (AP) — Nelly Korda stumbled again Thursday in her first event since missing the cut in the U.S. Women's Open, dropping four strokes on the first three holes in a 4-over 76 at the windy Meijer LPGA Classic. The top-ranked Korda was tied for 133rd in the 144-player field, 11 strokes behind leader Alison Lee at Blythefield Country Club. Korda shot 80-70 — making a 10 on a hole in the first round — two weeks ago in the U.S. Women’s Open in Pennsylvania.
