Lydia Ko hit two double bogeys and four bogeys in her opening round at the LA Open. Last weekend’s high of ending that title drought evaporated for Lydia Ko on her return to the LPGA Tour in California on Wednesday (Thursday NZ time). Ko is backing up after winning her first LPGA Tour title in three years on Sunday. America's Jessica Korda shot three birdies in her final four holes to surge into the lead after an opening round of seven-under par 71. Ashley Landis/AP Lydia Ko was backing up after ending her three-year title drought on the LPGA Tour last weekend.
