Korda, making her first start since withdrawing after the first round of the Ricoh Womens British Open with a left forearm injury, shot 67.It sucked because I was playing so well yesterday, and some people weren't playing so well yesterday, that are playing well today, and there's nothing I can do about that, Korda said. I just need to concentrate on myself. I was annoyed until about 9 p.m. last night, and then I was like, All right, screw it. When I wake up, it's a new day. What's done is done, and we'll just keep moving forward.Korda was tied for the lead at 2 under through eight holes Thursday when play was scrubbed. Park was 6 over through five holes.

Korda said Fridays sunny, calm conditions were dramatically different than Thursday, when winds gusted to 45 mph.I would have liked to have seen them keep the scores, Korda said.

It's never going to be the same. But I can see what they're talking about. The golf course is totally different today. It is what it is. You've just got to roll with it.
