The lone Pennsylvania native in the field, Waynesburg’s Rachel Rohanna, a two-time PIAA champion, will tee off in Thursday’s first group at 6:45 a.m. with Alana Uriell and Caroline Smith.Years of planning and preparation turns U.S. Women’s Open into a spectacle in central Pa.While Korda is the odds-on favorite to cash the record $2 million winner’s check, the field also includes eight U.S. Open champions, including 2023 winner Allisen Corpuz.
