Rhodes happy after three-under-par roundpublished at 19:25 British Summer Time 31 July
Rhodes -3 (69)

Mimi Rhodes, speaking to Sky Sports after her round of 69: "I'm very happy. I've had a few up-and-down weeks in the past few weeks, so I'm really happy to be striking it well and putting at my best again.
"I was coming in fresh and open-minded. It's good to have so much family here to support, there are 25-30 of them. I was just trying to do my best out there."

Rhodes -3 (69)

An exit from the bunker gives Mimi Rhodes an outside chance of a birdie.
She sends her effort slightly to the right, but easily cleans up a par to finish a brilliant opening day. The Englishwoman is two shots off the lead and is the highest British player on the leaderboard.

Ah. Mimi Rhodes' brilliant tee shot is wiped out as she sinks her approach into a greenside bunker.

Former Women's Open champion Georgia Hall was pleased with a one-under-par round in what she called "tough" conditions because of the wind on the south Wales coastline.
"I love this event and obviously a home event - I have people supporting me much more than I do when I play in America. This is one I really strive to do well in," said Hall, the most recent British winner, having triumphed at Lytham in 2018.
"I am just happy to have a good first round and also play this golf course. I think it's one of the best that we have actually. It's very tough, especially when the wind gets up."
Rhodes on 18thpublished at 18:56 British Summer Time 31 July
Rhodes -3 (17)

So then, Mimi Rhodes' tee shot on the 18th.
That's more like it. Powerful and straight down the middle of the fairway.

Rhodes -3 (17)

England's Mimi Rhodes finds herself in difficulty once again after a loose approach shot, and, once again, she has an eight-footer to save par.
But, once again, her putt is perfect, right in the middle of the hole.
She has some momentum going into the par-five 18th, with a chance to close up to the two leaders.
'I am happy I hung in there' - Woadpublished at 18:50 British Summer Time 31 July
Woad E (72)

Lottie Woad described her opening round as "OK" after a birdie on 18 saw the pre-tournament favourite finish on level par.
"It was a bit mixed," the 21-year-old said. "I had a good amount of birdies but a few poor bogeys on the front nine.
"It was nice to finish with a birdie on the last."
Woad also made birdie on the first hole as well as the sixth and 14th, but four bogeys alongside those mean she currently trails the leaders by five shots.
"It's one of those rounds that could have got away from me so I am happy I hung in there," Woad added.

Korda finishes three shots off leadpublished at 18:37 British Summer Time 31 July
Korda -2, Yin -1, Jutanugarn E (F)

After nine pars in a row, world number one Nelly Korda finishes with a birdie. She shot a two-under 70 today, and is well in contention, just three shots off the lead.
Thai 2016 winner Ariya Jutanugarn has a chance to end her round with an eagle, but comes up short and has to settle for a birdie.
Angel Yin pars to finish on one under.
Rhodes saves par againpublished at 18:30 British Summer Time 31 July
Rhodes -3 (16)

Oooof, a loose one from Mimi Rhodes puts her in the rough, but she recovers brilliantly with a chip on to the green that goes to within a foot of the hole.
An easy putt for par.
'Super nervous - but it was great out there' - Harrypublished at 18:28 British Summer Time 31 July
Harry -2 (70)

Darcey Harry was delighted to card a round of 70 on her AIG Women’s Open debut.
The Royal Porthcawl member, 22, bogeyed the first hole but fought back to finish two under in what is just the second major of her career.
"It was a really good start and I am very happy," Wales' Harry said.
"I didn't think I would come off with two under par today. I am not too sure why - I was just super nervous - but it was great out there."
Harry said the wind today, which was very testing at times, was about average for Royal Porthcawl.
"This is the normal wind strength," she added. "It got up and it got down - it was a bit of a mix."
Korda and Yin make parpublished at 18:19 British Summer Time 31 July
Korda -1, Yin -1 (17)

American pair Nelly Korda and Angel Yin both save par on the penultimate hole.
It's been a bit of a battle for world number one Korda today. But she's still in with a shout.
Rhodes saves parpublished at 18:18 British Summer Time 31 July
Rhodes -3 (15)

Mimi Rhodes has a big putt to prevent back-to-back bogeys on the tricky par three 15th.
Pressure, what pressure? The Englishwoman sinks her shot into the middle of the hole.
She'll take a driver to the 16th tee.
Woad shoots opening-round 72published at 18:14 British Summer Time 31 July
Ko +1 (73), Vu +2 (74), Woad E (72)

Lottie Woad began her round at Royal Porthcawl under grey skies and finishes it with a birdie in glorious sunshine.
Woad chipped into the breeze on the 18th and just missed an eagle after the ball whistles just past the pin.
The 21-year-old Englishwoman then rolls in a birdie putt to finish with a even-par round of 72.
Lydia Ko ends the day with a par to finish with a one-over round of 73 while Lilia Vu taps in for par to get round in a two-over 74.
Plenty for all three to do tomorrow to climb up the leaderboard. They will go out at 08:09 BST on Friday.
Japanese duo lead the waypublished at 18:08 British Summer Time 31 July

A reminder that Japanese duo Eri Okayama and Rio Takeda lead the way after five-under rounds of 67 today.
It's been a generally good day for scoring, with 53 players currently under par.

Rhodes bogeys 14thpublished at 18:01 British Summer Time 31 July
Rhodes -3 (14)

Ooof, a good effort, but still a bogey.
England's Mimi Rhodes drops a shot after leaving her putt on the 14th just short.
She had sent her tee shot into the rough and had initially done really well to hack her next shot back onto the fairway.
But she gave herself too much work to do on the green.

Korda -1 (16)

How's your luck?! It's with Nelly Korda today who saves par with a meaty putt that finds the lip and just about sinks in.
That's seven pars in a row for the American.
