Two bogeys during the first nine holes, and a triple bogey on hole 14. Ingrid Lindblad got a tough start to her first major tournament and lies, despite three birdies, two strokes over par after 17 holes.
A storm on its way to hit Texas, where the Chevron Championship is being played, caused the first round to be interrupted – and Lindblad was one of 24 players who did not manage to complete it. But after 17 holes, the road to the top looks long for the Swede, who currently lies in a tied 77th place.
The 25-year-old Lindblad made a big splash when she took home the win at the LPGA tournament in Los Angeles last week, a tournament that was only her third on the tour.
Frida Kinhult, who managed to complete the entire round before play was interrupted, played the best of the Swedes in Texas. With a result of two under par, she now lies in a tied 16th place.
Both Linn Grant and Maja Stark played the round on par, which gave them a tied 34th place, while Linnea Ström went around in one stroke over par. Madelene Sagström and Pernilla Lindberg both ended up two over par after 18 holes.
