— Stephanie Meadow didn’t mind the inclement weather conditions during the first round of the LPGA’s Canadian Open on Thursday. South Korea’s Chella Choi, who teed off with the afternoon group, is 7-under through 14 holes and will have to finish her first round Friday morning. Karine Icher joined Meadow at 6-under through 14 holes and will also finish her opening round on Friday morning. Golfers also had to battle windy, rainy and chilly conditions, which Meadow often endured while growing up in Jordanstown, Northern Ireland. The $2.25-million Canadian Open was last held in Priddis, southwest of Calgary, in 2009 and runs through Sunday with 156 golfers in the field.
