Little bit out of position here at the third for Gabby Ruffles, but maybe better in the rough Karen than in that bunker. Well, yeah. Ball really below her feet though. But and you can see getting that little bit of extra bounce and roll on just because it was from the rough. Well, here is Mji Lee with her second at the sixth. This can be a tricky green sometimes, Karen. Well, and she’s left herself in a fantastic position below the hole, putting uphill. Nice looking shot there. Leona has a bag full of full of hybrids. Uh seven iron is our highest iron. So you don’t have to grind and work quite as hard when you come here if you’ve been here before. And she has just set the opening pace on day one around a 65. Let’s go down to the bottom of the hill, the lower part of the golf course. Second shot for Gabby Ruffles looking to kind of kickstart her season. Had a good rookie year last year. currently 79th in the race to the CME Globe, but we know she’s got a lot of talent. Lee second shot into this par five. Karen, interesting hearing there from Lotty. Just you know her from the Curtis. The winner of the first major of 2025, my Saigo. Well, that’s nice. Just a bit. Yeah, correct. And as a player, you know that that bunker is actually okay to that pin. So, it’s not a bad bailout, honestly. With the eighth, that’s a really good T-shot there from Maigo. And it’ll set up a birdie chance. Only have five birdies here so far today. playing as the fourth hardest hole on the golf course. You could go to England. Yeah. From Wales in a few weeks time. Gabby Ruffles. Very nice. Yeah. Ew. Just headed into the right bunker. It’s a great shot. Oh, very close to being the second hole in one of the day here. Leona Magguire made. Great shot. It takes forever for these golf balls to drop out of the air. plays about three yards down hill this one to your point. So not the 30. Yeah, very good. Oh, that’s really good. Oh, we’re seeing some quality shots on these par 3s now. You always take it just a touch more club when in doubt here, especially into the wind. I always feel like it’s gives it double the amount of time to affect it. Oh, it totally does. It’s always a guess bit of a guessing game. Your heart’s always in your mouth when you’re playing that shot. This putts right to left the whole way. It’s hard to hit it hard enough. Oh, that’s pretty perfect. So, brilliant from the talented South African. This is at seven with Ruffles who may yet usurp this for a three-way share of the lead. Look at that. [Applause] Fifth T with Mu Yamashita made a really nice start. Got through that first four. One under par. Oh, right at it. Oh, almost the second holding one of the day. No, but she’s doing what she has to do. Swing looks really good. I mean, lines look pretty perfect. at the top of that mountain where you were is is not as easy as as you might think because every year there’s an oh what a every year there’s an influx of new fresh talent that comes out and here she is doing that off to a very nice start that’s knee right yes I’ve had a couple of those and they are very very painful well and on this golf course walking around here all over it. Great shot. Inji Chun, champion here in 2016. Oh, this looks great. when she made a hole in one Chevron Championship. She’s got 203 to the pin for it to go. Yeah, great shot. I mean, the perfect shot shape into that left leg. Little draw. Hannah Green looking to get something started. This is at the 10th for Birdie. Gosh, he went to school on Arya’s chip. Fantastic putt right there. Just keep grinding. Still got a lot of golf left to play. Can’t give up out here. There are birdies to be made. One yard closer than Nelly. Just a little left of the pin. She had a lot of one-handed finishes that have worked out just fine. That T- shot she didn’t like there, Richard. this one. But hey, look at what a three-footer for birdie. They haven’t been particularly firm today, but as the day goes on, getting that way on some holes. Bootaway second. Looks good. Can make quads too on almost any hole you can potentially flirt with. Disaster. Here is Mirabel Ting at the 14th. Nice come back trying to bounce back. Gosh, nearly a hole in one right there on 14. More accessible than when we see it on the back right here. He’s playing right at about even par today. It’s just one of those holes that plays so downhill. You really need to be precise with the wind. Get a lot of hang time on this shot and try to focus as you’re also looking at the view. Look at this one. [Applause] Full focus and a brilliant shot from area. That’ll take her to three under if it drops. Car goes by. And here’s Chisato. I wins off the right, which is not the most comforting thing having a long club in such a big drop for this pin. She played it beautifully. Wow, what a great shot. You get rewarded here when you don’t play the contours. Let’s see if Grace Kim can figure out some way to get it anywhere near the hole with her second, the eighth. Maybe better off being in this bunker. Will depend on the lie, but can generate a bit more spin. Just that front hole location is tough to get it close. There’s no doubt the scoring is not quite as good this afternoon as it was this morning. The average score at the moment a shot and a half worse than the morning wave. Although, don’t tell Grace Kim, who’s just one off the lead. Angel Yen for Birdie off her right up and over a slight ridge. Oh, how about that? So, she saves Bogey at 13 and a birdie at 14. Alen Crowder from Germany at the 18th is for a closing birdie. Very nice. Go ahead. and she’s really done a a great job this year working her way out of the dregs of the priority list on the LPGA Tour. She was 375. The Aussie contingent going well, plus three on a golf course where she’s never really profited before. Leona Maguire is one of those. Jennifer Cupcho teamed up with her a couple of weeks ago at the DAO and she joins the quartet to make it five at the top in with a 65. Well played Jennifer Cupo back to 17 with Shenati Wan. Yeah, that’ll do. That’ll do very nicely. [Applause]
