The U.S. Women’s Open kicks off Thursday at Erin’s Erin Hills in Pastoral, Wisconsin, which offers stories and highlights something more delicious than live cheese curds. (It’s so delicious.) After the morning wave of the first round, four players led it. When the sun sets, two more joined them. There are also dramas of “super group”, as well as the usual variety of stylish shots and dramas that make up the national champion.
So we brought together employees Sean Zak and Nick Piastowski to digest all of this. Both are on site. Regardless, both are natives from Wisconsin.
Nick Piastowski (@Nickpia): Hi Sean! Welcome home. Eighteen holes are completed. Fifty-four are left. The first thought of Gimme pops up in your mind.
Sean Zak (@sean_zak): The first thing that comes to mind? These ladies don’t know what will happen. Well, they might do that. But today is a good day there, because tomorrow is the day Erin Hills (and Mother Nature) is about to look back. Friday will bring some Scottish weather to rural Wisconsin, with strong winds and maybe some rain. The greens are fast and difficult to hold. Even PAR is a stable score today. Even with PAR, tomorrow will be a real score… right?
Piastowski: Right! Friday will all be about defense. My thoughts are tied to the score. Things are bound. More than 70 players were within five shots at the top and I couldn’t see anyone being pulled away due to predictions. Do you think the score is low, high or is it correct?
Zach: When people talk early, especially at the U.S. Open, they often forget that there are 156 players on the field, one-third, and ideally everyone enters home before the sun goes down. I mean, when we wrote this, it was 7:30 pm and the group was still in the course.
In other words, Thursday and Friday are no way To set it to Super Hard Score. USGA took everyone away, which didn’t allow anyone to enjoy less than five. That was a real solid beginning! So in this long-term unnecessary roundabout way, the answer to your question is… correct. Tomorrow will bring huge changes to the rankings.
Piastowski: As mentioned above, I was surprised that everyone was a little bit the same. Someone will definitely post 65. There are bird holes here. The wind fell. But yes, Friday will see some intense scores. OK, what’s the best thing you’ve seen today?
Zach: Abbey Daniel missed the 3rd shot of 6 green on the right side of the bunker, and her bunker shot Exceed Green goes left and then dangle from 30 yards to reach par.

Piastowski: Her last two holes have two fists from Angel Yin. First, she had just joined the leader as a four-shot only to see the 17th green chip shot back to her feet – but then she continued again, pushing the bogey by and celebrating the bogey. At 18, she dropped a birdie putter and joined the leader again and celebrated again. One of Pro Golf’s best personalities is zeroed. Let’s continue on the topic. The weirdest thing you’ve seen?
Zach: Lydia Ko’s tee shot at 1 shot. She basically put it low and put it left into danger on the 5-shot opener. This is not the open nerve – this is her tenth hole. It was just a real weird strike that led her to return to the t-shirt, land on the front edge of it and make a double bogey. Her 73s are solid, considering all the factors.
Piastowski: Yes, I saw it, too. Really strange. For me, this is something I found on the online rankings – it seems that Napat Lertsadwattana hit the water on the right side of the 9th hole. I don’t think this is possible, but the error will happen. What’s the best thing you heard today?
Zach: A transfer interview with Amari Avery. The 20-year-old recently turned professional and is known for his “short game” 12 years ago. Now, her game finally surpasses the shadow of teenage fame. This is her third US Women’s Open, but she is the first of the professionals. What these things are to her.
“I just learned a lot in the ropes and felt the open atmosphere in the United States,” she said. “Now, it’s a little calm for me. I told my family earlier – it’s so crazy, I almost feel too chill.”
Piastowski: nice one. When asked how she got the nickname “Queen:” you can’t beat Lim Kim’s offer:
“That’s a secret,” she said with a smile. “My original nickname was ‘Queen’. Do you know King Kong?
A club made her morale depressed. The switch lets her lead us to open

Who leads after the age of 36?
Zach: NASA HATAOKA.
Piastowski: To me it’s Lin Jin. There is another problem.
The spotted cow is…
Zach: Real Wisconsin wedding logo. It would be a good guy if they offer spotted cows at the wedding you attend.
Piastowski: Overestimate! Ha ha. My child. This is the first thing I’ve come back. Talk to you on Friday.
