A Lim Kim is off to a solid start in the LPGA event in Hawaii. The former U.S. Women's Open champion opened with a 66. She has a one-shot lead over five players who are doing a lot of chasing in the wind. Kim is at No. 65 in the Race to CME Globe.
HONOLULU — Former U.S. Women’s Open champion A Lim Kim opened with an eagle and piled up birdies on her way to a 6-under 66 on Wednesday to take a one-shot lead after the first round of the Lotte Championship.
She was tied for the lead until a pair of late bogeys, and then made birdie on the par-5 18th at Hoakalei Country Club. Pagdanganan avoided the blustery afternoon conditions on Oahu that kept anyone from catching Kim. The wind was strong enough to derail a couple of good rounds. Yuri Yoshida of Japan is at No. 132 in points. She was tied for the lead with six birdies and no bogeys on her card until Yoshida made two bogeys on the back nine and failed to birdie the two par 5s. She wound up at 68.
Also at 70 was Jin Young Ko, the other top-10 player, who is trying to extend her streak of winning at least once on the LPGA Tour for the last seven years.
