Hull, Korda Even Par; Thompson One-Over Amid Tension

News summary

During the first round of the 2025 U.S. Women's Open at Erin Hills, Charley Hull was visibly frustrated with Lexi Thompson's slow play while paired with Nelly Korda. Hull, known for her quick tempo, was seen waiting and even sitting out as Thompson's deliberate pace disrupted the group's rhythm. The incident renewed debate about the LPGA Tour's new pace of play policy, which seeks to penalize slow play but has yet to yield significant changes. Both Hull and Thompson have expressed support for stricter penalties, with Hull advocating for severe consequences for repeat offenders. Fans largely sided with Hull, attributing the tension to slow play rather than etiquette issues. By round's end, Hull and Korda were at even par, while Thompson finished at one-over, with the slow pace drawing more attention than the scores.
