South Korea's Lee So-Mi fired an eight-under-par 64 to seize a two-stroke lead over American Allisen Corpuz after Thursday's opening round of the LPGA Tour Championship.
Lee birdied seven of the first 15 holes and eagled the par-five 17th before a closing bogey at Tiburon Golf Club in Naples, Florida.
“My tee shot and putter were the things I was focusing on and I really practiced them a lot. I think that was the foundation to my success today,” Lee said.
The US$11 million event features 60 players, who qualified during the season chasing the LPGA's biggest prize of $4 million.
Top-ranked defending champion Jeeno Thitikul of Thailand shared third on 67 with Japan’s Nasa Hataoka and South Koreans Kim Sei-Young and Im Jin-Hee.
