CARNOUSTIE, Scotland (AP) — Top-ranked Nelly Korda has begun her bid for a second major title by shooting 5-under 67 in the first round to share the lead at the Women’s British Open. She is playing her first event since winning a gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics two weeks ago. Korda rolled in a 5-foot putt at No. 18 for her eighth birdie of a round that also contained three bogeys in overcast, chilly but largely wind-free conditions over the links at Carnoustie. Korda was tied for the lead with Madelene Sagstrom of Sweden and Sei Young Kim of South Korea.
