Kim (64) trails by one
WILLIAMSBURG, VA. — Fresh off a victory last week, Mi Hyun Kim found the River Course at Kingsmill there for the taking Thursday in the first round of the LPGA’s Michelob Ultra Open.
So Kim, and many others, took and took some more from the surprisingly receptive 6,306-yard layout.
Of the 144 players, 69 shot par or better.
Sarah Lee tied the course record with an eight-under 63, and Kim was one back after a bogey-free 64 in wind-free conditions and with greens that were softer than usual.
Laura Davies and Birdie Kim shot 65s in the afternoon, when some wind kicked up on the course along the James River.
