BEDMINSTER, N.J. — No matter how hot or stormy the weather, Regina Rajchrtova will walk 36 holes each day of the United States Women’s Open.

On Friday morning, she tied a black garbage bag around her waist like a sarong and set out to trek through the rain around Trump National Golf Club to follow around her younger daughter, Nelly Korda. In the afternoon, she would head out again to follow her older daughter, Jessica Korda.

“That’s pretty amazing, to have two daughters in the same U.S. Open. Has that ever happened before?” the trainer Rob Akins asked Rajchrtova on Nelly Korda’s fourth hole.
