PAJU, South Korea — Ashleigh Buhai of South Africa, Hannah Green of Australia, and Jenny Shin of South Korea shot 8-under 64s to top the leaders after the first round of the BMW Ladies Championship on Thursday.
The field is loaded with eight of the LPGA Tour’s top 10 players. It also includes 17 of 18 wins this season on tour. About the only key player absent is American Kelly Korda, who withdrew due to a neck injury.
South Korea’s Haeran Ryu is one shot from 65. Six other golfers were tied for 66 at Seowon Valley Country Club.
