And this was Chisato Iwway. A T-shot at the fourth. A short par three. Six under at this point for Chisato. And that working it off beautifully from the slope. Getting even better. Shy started with her day with the birdie. And this is her second shot at second hole. She likes it. And that was beautiful iron shot to make a great birdie opportunity. We’ve just seen Aki Ey make birdie at five. What came before it? Well, this iron shot did at the second hole. After parring one, she took it on. First birdie of the day came right there. A winner of the season opener on the LPGA tour. This was at the fourth hole. She made a birdie at one and three. And this the tiddler of a par three rolling it in the par five. Alim Kim is one of the longest players on tour. She’s in the top 10 in driving distance on average 270 off the tea. This was for birdie in it went and a player big group of players now at minus 9 to the fourth. It looked like whailing she at the par three and that was dead online. This is at five. Gino Titikin has taken on this green and two aggressive play. Haven’t seen much of that this week, but she is going to be very handsomely rewarded there with a birdie. She is so popular tap in. It will be a part for Hannah. She’s made plenty of those. She’s only made one bogey. I always found that it kind of brought a little bit of a different awareness. You can’t stay in your bubble anymore when the cameras come out of, you know, if you’re going really deep as we see an important part save here for a hedge in Choi, which she makes. She’s passed the first test of the day there. Above Hannah’s feet. That’s going to be conducive to trying to draw it in here. What a good looking line. This is just right of it. Fabulous shot in from Hannah. N here once again try and hit a little draw in here. This one at it has to hustle a little. Looked like she just chased after that a little bit. She knew she needed a good strike to get it there but was clearly in between clubs. Elimin para number seven. Yep. Yeah. What a good start it’s been. What a character she is. Apparently she walks like penguin. Is she okay about that? I think she likes it. Really good. Penguin’s quit. Oh, this is for par putt. Oh, that is so good. Especially when it breaks from left to right. It moves away from you. 160. You’ve got about 152 to cover the bunker. Right on that line. I think it’s fair to say she knows this course quite well. Survived a ninehole playoff and you could see why she’s lifted the trophy. With excellent course management like this 125 to the pin, the players going to play aggressively. She tried to use a heel and coming back to the pain. This will be right edge, maybe even inside. And in it goes. She’s broken clear. She’s in double digits, too, now and gain those points comparatively to a whole one. Yeah. Also, when you’re seeing your country girl already have one LPG event as a rookie, you can um get some compet like if she can do it, I can do it. that approach. And as we watch Emily Pettison’s approach, we have a question for you. Duke and the QR code. Get your mobile phones out. What impresses you most about the LPGA players? She’s approaching third shot in number five, par five. Terrific approach from Ena Yun, but Yan Lee have a best angle to get up to the tier. That was be short. But all three of them on the green right now and looking for Eagle. Alim Kim number nine on second shot. Yeah, it’s really tough to go straight into the pin. We’ll have to see how much that footprint uh impacts her angle of attack later. And it goes for Yan Leu Alen Kim for birdie on number nine. It’s been a very nice start for Alim Kim. Four under through five. So that will be a tap-in to go out in 32 for Alim. Highly approachable, charismatic player, very engaging to chat to as well for aim. Also as a non-English speaker, you know, just keep having a conversation with people is best way to learn languages. Yeah, sometimes you definitely learn a lot of the bad as in choice uh what Ronnie did. She couldn’t get the clean contact. [Music] There are great crowds here in Malaysia, mainly orchestrated by this player, Gino Titikan, Iwai sisters. Tell you more about that in a second. this now. Big putt for Herin Choy to extend the lead at the top. It’s a great putt, but it sends an ominous message to the chasing pack. Yeah, not an easy little putt here either, Ally. This could easily lose pace and miss on the right hand side. It caused a lot. She’s going to feel like she’s had a small bucket down the third. a little bit more on it. More about their character and what makes them tick. 125 here with a nine for Hen Choy. This is straight at it. Wow. She’s very good, isn’t she? what players use uh in order to perform their best and how much technology and clubs have evolved over the years. Actually, I thought about that just having an all different colors of club to each each clubs. Great T- shot there from Way Lingi. And then I was thinking fourth green Hannah green. Can she bounce back left to right? Great bounce back. It’s going to be really quick putt for Aen Kim. Great birdie. Very good putt. That’s a super up and down. Great pitch from the rough. Well, Gino has different color grips for the clubs in her bag. That’s the yellow grip. And it’s not much in hand. And that’s a fantastic shot from Gino. The four iron is turquoise, the seven iron is orange, and the nine iron is pink. They got to know what color the club is. Lovely. Oh, Hen shouldn’t move much. It is a short iron. I’ll take it. It’s a good shot. We’ve only had one today. Gemma Driver. Very difficult to access this flag. So that is brilliant from Gino Titikin. I think the carry for Hedgein maybe just on her limits. Yan Leu short in the jaws. A lot of the pin position is really close to the water hazard today or like Big Hollow. and water hazard is behind. Whoa. That’s just best as she could. 109 there for Hjun. This one flying a little deep. She’s got to choose. Does she fly it all the way there or try and skip it up over the ridge? She looks to be flying it all the way there. Good choice. A winner a couple of weeks ago at the BMW Ladies Championship, Sean Kim. Oh, that’s a terrific shot from Sean Kim out of the fairway bunker. Well, the ball remains above ground. That was a good stroke from Hjin Choy. Actually, like Yuan said, that was always my thing. Putter had need to keep it low to putt. Well, seems important putt, isn’t it? So, that’s a very good save. Looked to be a long way back there, but still great shot. Oh, almost perfect chance. Six shots back. You’re one of our biggest fans and uh it’s going to be interesting to see what happens over the course of today and tomorrow. Another potential contender though is this player Yan View. Try and fly it down a little bit more. Once again, it’s a good strike. Yeah, she played safely and wisely used the back stop. She’s also got to be careful that she doesn’t float this up into the breeze at an 18 as well. It’s a good strike. It’ll get there. The best of the three. Super shot from Hannah. Some really tight lies down there. Still to come, Hannah Green would love this at six for Birdie in the side door for Hannah Green. And that’s a super birdie on a tricky hole at the sixth. All right, we’ll see where that ended up. Up at the green food away for Birdie. That thing was on train tracks the whole way home. Write that down. Never heard that before. It’s brilliant. I think Gino Tit Titikin’s done a good job of that. Spit it out eventually. But it’s it is such a good quote because you get nervous. Soon, you know all about this. You’re a former world number one. As we have a look at Herin Choy looking to execute her third settled down. And that is a viewer question that has come in from Danielle in the UK. And uh do you change your setup or wedges? Hit a beautiful T- shot at the previous par three number four looking to replicate that. And this one he’s pining down. Well, hello. There’s more fans heading out to Ronny’s group. Let’s go to 13. Gino Titan found the fair weight. Holocation is back left today. Only six paces left of it to use. Dead aim again. She’s done that so many times today. Had left herself a long way in here. 187 yds. Four iron in hand. That’s a very good shot with a four iron to fly it over that bunker. Very aggressive T- shot. 7 from 155 here for Choi. And once again just firing straight at it. Whoa. What a brave shot on on 14. That’s going to be very quick around that position. [Music] [Applause] Yeah, just every culture is very different. And speaking of, we have another Japanese player here, Hayyaka Furu, but she only has one ketti. Yeah, a little Mikey Scott. He’s lucky he hasn’t been rotated. Oh, super. That’s a fantastic shot. Mikey most probably gave her the club in the yard. If you think you know, who do you think it is? Yanni Singh. Not Yiani Singh. Oh, it’s Gin. Yes. Jinyongo who is the number one player for the most weeks but with putts like that Lynn Grant might have a chance as well. She continues that good form. Lynn at 89 yds here Kate on a steep ups slope. Excellent looking shot in the air. And that’s more like it. Good strike straight at it. [Applause] The best of the three. That was excellent dialing it in at the 10th view. This is 17 for Alim Kim. Short left over front here today and that is not the place to be. 62 will be looking to try and land this 10 15 yds short of the flag. Good looking shot. Will it release? [Applause] 156 there for Herin Choice 79. That was a good lie, but it has to hustle. He’s in the best spot off the fairway as well. This is the third though at 14. So something’s gone arrive from Teter Green for Seong Kim. Maybe she should just finish in the water hazard on the left. But no problem to make a birdie. Sean Kim that was never a three. Just golf is funny game. It’s the best game and she enjoyed that. 16 Titican short right not a bad place to be for the second line dependent up and down equals birdie up and in equals eagle yep she knows how to chip well feet yes fit one in putt yes very big inches otherwise but yes absolutely [Music] No problem for 45 ft 1 in putt for hedging joy. Oh my god, I’m so proud of her. Pins chuck into right corner. Best place to be. sends it deep into the green also from below the hole. Most of them will be steep. It is the 13th. Great birdie. This for a round of 64 matching the week’s best. It’s traveling. We all and she sends it home. Alim Kim, it’s going to be downhill putt. Yep. Easy peasy for Gino. N eight iron in hand has hit some great iron shots already today. Oh, this one covering the flag straight at it. What a shot. All over it. Yep. No problem to hedge in right now. Made one bogey all week. Yan Leu. Yep, there was good second shot for Yanlu. Gina was not able to get on for two, but I know it’s a deliberate back swing and it’s if it stays there. Oh, it might well catch that slope on the front edge. Had Choy second shot on 13 on a pretty severe downs slope with a wedge in hand. So Yan, but no problem with the severe downs slope. Yeah, Penna put herself at the really good position to make a birdie. Something I’m too familiar with. The adrenaline rising. Yeah, most likely she might going to and a green next 92 yds with a smooth 50° wedge flying a little past the flag. Prudent play and we’re sitting next to one in the commentary box. So your new joins us this week. What a pleasure to have you here. It doesn’t look so good for Hedgeun Choy. It’s turned out okay. She didn’t love it off the club face there, did she? A third here will be able to generate more spin. Clicked it cleanly it looked and that’s confirmed. Dialed in. Fabulous. Oh, he’s got caught in that Bermuda grass. Not a problem. A super duper up and down on a team. And for one of the best players on tour yet to
