Marina Alex spent two rough weeks in the cold and wind of Scotland. She is finding the TPC Boston much more to her liking. Alex played bogey-free in the first round of the FM Championship for a 68. She leads by one shot over a large group that includes two-time LPGA winner Lauren Coughlin and former U.S. Women's Open champion Allisen Corpuz.

The TPC Boston hosted a PGA Tour event for nearly two decades, and it took some adjustments with the firm greens and run-off areas. “It was tough for a lot of us on some of those waves,” Alex said. “I just felt like I wasn’t going to play a good round of golf again, if I’m being honest. It was really good to see some good golf today. It was a break to not play in 30 mph winds. Just to be able to see yourself hit a shot and go where you’re intending is nice.”“There has been some good golf this year,” she said. “It’s been coming and going, but I’m happy to see a 68 today.
“Our pace was a little off today because of us being behind a threesome, so I felt like it was hard at the end to get into a good rhythm,” Alex said. “I felt like mentally that was the most challenging part of finishing up. Just staying in it. A lot of waits between shots. You get tired. It’s late.”
