Overview

  • Jodi Ewart Shadoff closed with four straight birdies to join Sei Young Kim and Allisen Corpuz at 7-under after the first round.
  • Miranda Wang sits alone in fourth at 6-under, fueled by a blistering 7-under 29 on her front nine.
  • Nelly Korda unveiled a blade-style putter and posted a 67 with seven birdies to join the group tied for fifth.
  • World No. 1 Jeeno Thitikul finished at 3-under 69 after a closing bogey on the par-5 18th.
  • Minjee Lee matched Korda with a 67 to stay within two, as players noted cooler morning air affected ball flight on a low-scoring day.
