EVIAN-LES-BAINS, FRANCE—Aiming to stylishly cap a rookie season that Hurricane Maria almost denied her, Maria Torres shared the first-round lead on 6 under at the final women’s golf major Thursday. “I just want to come here and play, and whatever happens, happens,” Torres said. Carefree laughs flowed from the 184th-ranked Torres, who last September was on her home island when the hurricane struck. Finally, at Daytona Beach in December, Torres won a three-way playoff to claim the last tour card on offer. The South Korean player, who won the PGA Championship in July, dropped shots at four of the first five holes.
