Surprised Royu on Thursday gave a bogie-free, 9-under-foot 63 card on Thursday to take the first round lead in the inaugural Black Desert Championship at Ewins, Utah.
The 24-year-old South Korean has gained one-shot lead over Taiwan’s V-Ling Hasu and Thailand’s Aria Jutanugaran at the club in Nicks course in Carlton Woods.
Lucy Lee, Esther Henselit of Germany, Carlota Siganda of Spain, Grace Kim of Australia and South Korean Jione Jione and Suu Bin Zu7 are bound to fourth place in Under. Six players share 10th position under 6.
Mao Sigo, Japan, who won his first career major title last week at the Chevron Championships, is ranked 2 under 42nd.
Royu opened the back to nine and birds each of their first two holes. She is injured with five birdies at nine and four.
“This course is also … no … narrow but it seems that it is because (there are a lot of rocks here),” Royu said, who won his second career LPGA in the last September outside Boston. “So I just want to place Fairway in an easy place on my tea shot and greens.”
He recently cited the change of poatrs as her help.
“This is more comfortable for my shot and, yes, it’s good for the last week and also this week,” Rio said.
HSU started and finished its round well. The beginning of nine behind, he had an early stretch of Birdi-Pane-Eagle-Burdi. Eagle Par-5 came into the 13th hole, where he put a small put. He closed his bogie-free day with three consecutive crasms.
Coming to Ryu’s data, HSU hit 13 out of 14 fairways and 17 out of 18 in regulation.
“This week I think I just try to relax a little more calm and a little more,” Hasu said. “So I think I had a good mindset of today, and a lot of shots I just hit the shot,” You can do it, we can. “
“I think I just give myself a good note in my head, so I think it’s really well done today.”
The two nine of Jutanugarn were almost the same, each of which had five pars and two sets of back-to-back burdies.
“I would say that this course can be really stressful because you have to plan everything, every shot, such as tea shot, the second shot, where the ball has to finish,” Jutanugarn said. “… I am very lucky this morning. No wind, so it became a little easier to stop … the ball where I want to finish.”
