THUNDER BAY – At some point in the very near future, Reese Keating may have a pretty tough decision to make – golf or hockey.

She’s up at 6, on the ice at 6:30, off the ice at 8, in school by 8:45 until 3, then to the golf course, back for goalie skate, than eat then study until 10:30 or 11 and do it again. I just went out there and played, and played better than I expected to,” Keating said of her performance in Manitoba last week. “I’m really excited to try to do both,” she said. “At first I was shocked, and then I was very nervous, but I’m very excited to get the opportunity.” “It would be a lot, but I would prefer to do both than just pick one.” “Yeah,” agreed Reese, a graduate of the Thunder Bay Queens program and a straight A student in the classroom.

Ayaka Furue of Japan tees off on the 13th hole on day one of The Amundi Evian Championship at Evian Resort Golf Club on July 21, 2022 in Evian-les-Bains, France ...

After saying she had struggled for years on the Evian greens, with a best performance of a tie for 19th in 2021, Korda was thrilled with her first-round performance. 2021 Amundi Evian champion Minjee Lee opened her title defense with a 1-under 70 and is tied for 39th. She also had six birdies on the day to go with a single bogey at No. 8. After starting on No. 10, Henderson closed her round with a long eagle putt at No. 9. Korda was bogey-free on Thursday, choosing to wade into the water at No. 18 to secure a clutch up-and-down with her ball at the edge of the hazard. Major champions Nelly Korda and Brooke Henderson are tied for second at 7 under with matching 64s.

The women's golf major season continues this week at the Amundi Evian Championship, with all four rounds available via Sky Sports' free live YouTube stream.

The major is part of a quadruple-header of live golf on Sky Sports this week, with the DP World Tour's Cazoo Classic, the PGA Tour's 3M Open and The Senior Open at Gleneagles also available to enjoy. Coverage from the weekend begins at 10.30am until the close of play, with each round live on Sky Sports Golf and - for free - on the Sky Sports Golf YouTube channel. Evian Championship is live on Sky Sports Golf and the Sky Sports Golf YouTube channel; Women's major one of four live tournaments this week - Senior Open, the DP World Tour's Cazoo Classic and the PGA Tour's 3M Open are also available.

Ayaka Furue shot an eight-under 63 to take a one-stroke lead over Nelly Korda and Brooke Henderson after the Evian Championship first round.

“I just feel like it’s a really great feeling to start the major championship with a solid round. “I had just bogeyed the previous hole and it was a super long putt and it was going pretty hard. “The eagle on the last hole was definitely a bonus,” she said. What were you working on to prepare for this week?” Buckle up, Ayaka Furue. A who’s who of women’s golf — Nelly Korda, Brooke Henderson, Jin Young Ko and Lydia Ko, among others — is lurking behind you, and 54 holes are ahead at the Evian Championship. Then again, maybe it’s them who should be concerned. Korda, in her fifth event since her return from blood clot surgery, shot a bogey-free 64.

Henderson's 14-under 128 total through two rounds is just one off the all-time mark for lowest 36-hole score in major championship history on the LPGA Tour.

For the second day in a row Henderson made birdie on her first two holes. Henderson won for the 11th time on the LPGA Tour earlier in June. She hasn’t won a major since the 2016 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship. Fellow major winner Nelly Korda held the clubhouse lead at 11-under through most of the day before Henderson notched three birdies in a row on No’s 16-18 to close out her day.
