SHANGHAI — Arpichaya Yubol<\/a> shot a bogey-free 8-under 64 on Thursday to take a one-stroke lead after the first round of the LPGA’s Shanghai tournament.<\/p>\n

The Thai player, whose career-best round is a 61, had four birdies on each of the front and back nines at the Qizhong Garden Golf Club.<\/p>\n

Minjee Lee<\/a>, who won the Women’s PGA Championship in June for her third major title, was in a group of five a stroke behind. Jenny Shin<\/a>, Jenny Bae<\/a>, Jeeno Thitikul<\/a> and Ina Yoon<\/a> also shot 65s.<\/p>\n

Lee said she navigated the difficult bumpy greens at Qizhong the best she could with her broomstick-style putter. Most of the greens are brown and patchy due to the extreme heat and humidity of Shanghai.<\/p>\n

“I feel like with how the greens are, the conditions, I managed pretty well to make, what, seven birdies, so it was nice day for me,” Lee said.<\/p>\n

Ashleigh Buhai<\/a>, the 2022 Women’s British Open champion, shot 68. Defending champion Ruoning Yin<\/a> had a 71.<\/p>\n

The Shanghai event is the first of five tournaments in Asia. There’s two weeks in South Korea, including the International Crown team event, and tournaments in Malaysia and Japan.<\/p>\n

Last week, Youmin Hwang<\/a> extended the incredible streak<\/a> on the LPGA Tour of having different winners at each of the 25 official tournaments this year. Hwang was the sixth player from South Korea to win on tour this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SHANGHAI — Arpichaya Yubol shot a bogey-free 8-under 64 on Thursday to take a one-stroke lead after the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":212777,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[71],"tags":[427,99],"class_list":["post-212776","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-golf","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/212776","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=212776"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/212776\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/212777"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=212776"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=212776"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=212776"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
