Geno Thaitikul of Thailand on Thursday held eight Birds with any bogie, which to determine the first round speed at Mizuho America Open in Jersey City, NJ
Thaitikul, who was at number 2 in the world, won the CME Group Tour Championship, but has not yet won the LPGA tour in the last 2025.
He is in a good position at the Liberty National Golf Club, where he has two-shot benefits on Celine Boutare of France and High-Jin Choi in South Korea.
Thaitikul was found around the syllabus in just 26 puts on Thursday.
“I certainly stress about putting my put on the week vacation,” she said. “I came to know that I am doing well. I have-you know, like I had a good stroke, but just didn’t go inside, so I am just trying to make the eyes like the coordination of the eyes and the speed of matching the line is.”
Thaitikul, who had birds 17 and 18 to get away from the pack, was asked what he enjoyed about Liberty National.
“Food,” he quipped. “Ferry, food. Just fancy New York. You know, really good ideas here. Good situation as well as a course.
Boutier made the second half charge after starting his round at nine behind and shooting at 1 through eight holes.
PAR-4 In 18th, his Birdi was the first of five-bird runs to shoot him in red figures. He added Burdies to Nos 6 and 7.
“I think my game is not far away,” said world number 16 player and former chief champion. “I had trouble scoring here and there, just some stroke, exit or out, but I don’t think my game has been very different from the beginning this week.”
Choi did a bogey-free, while 10 players finished fourth in the 5-under 67. Among them were Haran Rio of South Korea-he won the Black Desert Championship of the last week, which was after falling low in a playoff in a playoff before Major The Week-and Lindi Dan, who was also competing in that playoffs and lost to Japan’s saig.
Nelli Corda recovered a 4-in-end 68 card from the first-hole bogie, as she tries to show it at the Chevron, where she ralled a difficult opening-round 77 to cut.
“I think when you see a put drop and you see your game coming back, Iron Play is coming back, I think it just leads to a slight speed, there is a little more positiveness around the golf game,” World No. 1 said.
Rose Zhang-Jhan-2023 won his first start as a professional in this tournament on 1-over 73.
