U.S. Women's Open -- Day 1 Wrap-Up

The big story of yesterday's round was that Mirim Lee shot an 8-under par 64 to jump out into a three-shot lead.  The top two players in the world -- Lydia Ko and Brooke Henderson -- had a much rougher time.  Ko shot a one-over par 73 and is tied for 52d place.  Henderson's four-over par 76 leaves her in 106th place.  In fact, a lot of the big stars appear to be out of it already -- Paula Creamer shot a 74, Lexi Thompson shot a 74, Michelle Wie shot a 75.  Part of the problem was that all of these players went out in the afternoon, when scoring conditions were much worse than they had been in the morning.
