Irish rookie Leona Maguire shoots 7-under 65 to lead LPGA MEDIHEAL Championship while Hamilton’s Alena Sharp (75) leads all Canadians
This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.Irish rookie Leona Maguire shot a 7-under 65 on Thursday at Lake Merced to take the first-round lead in the LPGA MEDIHEAL Championship, the tour’s second straight event on the San Francisco Peninsula.
Jasmine Suwannapura of Thailand shot a 66, birdieing the par-5 18th late in the afternoon to pull within one. Thompson offset bogeys on Nos. 2 and 3 with an eagle on the par-5 fifth, birdied the other three par 5s and had two bogeys. On Sunday at Olympic, she blew a five-stroke lead, playing the final seven holes in 5 over to finish a stroke out of a playoff that Yuka Saso won.
Maguire played alongside the tournament’s two past champions, Sei Young Kim and Florida neighbour Lydia Ko . Ko had five birdies and five bogeys in a 72, while Kim had four birdies and five bogeys in a 73. “I suppose the weather is similar to home, even the golf course is similar to home,” Maguire said. “It’s very green and sort of tree lined a little bit like what we get at home. Northern California’s been good to me and I won my first Symetra event not too far from here, so these kind of golf courses suit my eye.”Story continues below advertisement
