LPGA /LET : AIG Women's Open
Leaderboard
At one point in round 1 of the AIG Women's Open there were 5 Japanese golfers in the top 10. At day's end a pair are the leaders.
Eri Okayama and Rio Takeda both shot -5 67's on a mainly dry day breezy day on the links at Royal Porthcawl.
Canada's Brooke Henderson opened with -1 71, while young Anna Huang +4 76.
The cut is projected to fall at E with Friday's round 2 early wave in play as I post this at 7am edt.
England's Lottie Wood won 2 events (Irish & Scottish Open's) and narrowly missed out on her 1st major (3rd at the Evian) in July, began as the tournament favourite, was playing in her 2nd event since turning professional. She opened with even par 72, 5 shots off the lead " It was a bit mixed, one of those rounds that could have gotten away from me, so Im glad I hung in there."
In general scoring was good despite the breeze, two Welsh fan favourites started well, Darcy Harry -2 70, Lydia Hall E 72.
Defending champion Lydia Ko +1 73, Nelly Korda world #1 -2 70, Charley Hull had a late collapse with 4 straight bogey's +1 73.
WEATHER: Friday 19*c, sunny intervals with a moderate breeze 16kph NW.
