got off to a sizzling start when she fired seven birdies and an eagle for a nine-under 63 to take the opening day lead in the rain-hit inaugural Maybank Championship golf tournament at the Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club here today.
World number 187 Jasmine, who is gunning for her third Ladies Professional Golf Association title, carded an eagle on the par-four 14th and seven birdies to claim top spot in a strong field that includes six of the world’s top 10 players and 18 of this year’s LPGA Tour winners. Jasmine’s other two LPGA titles were the 2018 Marathon Classic and the inaugural Great Lakes Bay Invitational in 2019 with American Cydney Clanton.
“So, it was nice for that putt to fall in, and obviously in good position for the tournament,” she said. Earlier, LPGA Shanghai winner Angel Yin’s hopes of winning her second title of the season were dashed when the 25-year-old American was forced to withdraw with a back injury.
