Megha Ganne and Melissa Reid lead 2021 U.S. Women’s Open after round 1

Megha Ganne and Melissa Reid lead 2021 U.S. Women’s Open after round 1

We have two leaders after 18 holes at the 2021 United States Women’s Open. On Thursday from the Olympic Club in San Francisco, California, Melissa Reid of Derby, England, and American amateur Megha Ganne of Holmdel, New Jersey each posted scores of four-under-par.

Ganne is the co-leader despite being only 17 years of age. One must realize this is not the first time Ganne has competed at the United States Women’s Open. She was there back in 2019 in Charleston, South Carolina, and missed the cut after a shooting +11. Ganne’s tournament included a first-round score of 81. In two years, Ganne improved her score in the first round of the United States Women’s Open by a whopping 14 strokes.

Reid won her first LPGA event in October of 2020 when she beat American Jennifer Kupcho by two strokes at the Shoprite LPGA Classic in Ganne’s home state of New Jersey. Reid, whose mother died in a car accident in Germany while watching her daughter play in 2012, has finished in the top 10 at three majors in the past, including a career-high third at the 2019 Women’s PGA Championship at Newtown Square, Pennsylvania.

The Olympic Club has three courses–the Lake Course, the Ocean Course, and the Cliffs Course. This week, the United States Golf Association is using the Lake Course, which was designed by English professional golfer Wilfrid Reid and Scottish architect Willie Watson, and opened in 1924.

Over the years, the Olympic Club has hosted five U.S. Opens in men’s golf. The last time was in 2012, when Webb Simpson of Raleigh, North Carolina was victorious.

This is the second U.S. Women’s Open in seven months. In December, A Lim Kim of South Korea was victorious.
