SHANGHAI (AP) — Sei Young Kim, looking for her first victory this season, opened with a 10-under 62 on Thursday to lead the first round of the Buick LPGA Shanghai tournament.
The South Korean shot a 28 on her first nine holes at the Qizhong Garden Golf Club, which included an eagle on the 17th, and then came home with a 34 on her second nine holes.
It was her low round of the year and comes after she finished third in September in the last LPGA event — the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship.
Celine Boutier of France was two shots behind with a 64, and American Lucy Li was three back with a 65.
