It was a neck injury that Korda said happened during one of her last practice sessions in September before heading to Asia that kept her from playing any of the four events on the swing. She thinks it was something that had been bothering her for a while and it finally reached its breaking point.

After tying for fifth at the Kroger Queen City Championship in September, Korda announced that she had suffered a neck injury, forcing her to withdraw from two of the events apart of the LPGA’s Asian Swing in Malaysia and South Korea. Her neck injury, come to find out, stemmed from migraine headaches that Korda had before the Solheim Cup.

Charley Hull, fresh off her first victory in more than two years, didn’t lose her form from Saudi Arabia to Florida in opening with a 6-under-par 64 to share the lead with Jiwon Jeon.
