Aigoo, MHL opened with a 74, +3...well, she started lousy last year too.

One of the perks of being LPGA commissioner: getting to play pro-am twice with So Yeon Ryu in three weeks!

So Yeon minus two is not too bad, considering she hasn't played in three weeks. However she didn't make birdie on any of the par fives.

Ah jeez not this again. I am all for personal liberty, and nonconformity but that is some seriously odd behavior. She should express that side of herself somewhere else maybe.

I am confused. They showed So Yeon at even par coming into the par five eleventh hole. According to the broadcast she had an eagle putt on eleventh. She two putted for birdie. Yet on the par three twelve they still showed her score at even par. She made birdie on twelve and they showed her score at minus one instead of minus two.
Even on the highlight they showed her making a birdie on eleven. But on the leaderboard her score on eleven was a par. I wonder if they missed a shot.

Bravo to Kelsey MacDonald, the low Scot at 67, -4. She barely secured her worthless LET tour card for 2018 by pulling out a miraculous T-11 at Dubai last December. However, last year's tour issue popped again in March...the LET being the Skid Row of touring golf:
I'm glad the article says her goal is to play in the U.S.

Jenny from The ROK has been a non-robotic character going back to when I followed her at the 2009 U.S. Girls Junior. Yes, Jenny is such a CLOWN for dredging up her Aussie accent...but I'll forgive her for two reasons: she had a great first round and she's nice to look at.

A leaderboard that should make any Seoul Sister fan content.
TJoh is the only American in the top ten but it's the tippy-top. Sweet!

Round 1 Nice round for the Sisters. Tiffany pulled a really great round out of somewhere, leading by 4, although it's hard to know what to expect the rest of the week. Then you have Amy, Jenny and Inky tied for 2nd. In that interview above, I worried for a minute that Jenny was trying to do a Scottish accent; you never know what wacky thing she might come up with. So Yeon wasn't great, but she hung in there and still has three days to make a move. Sung Hyun also was solid, and even Jin Young at even par didn't struggle too badly. The one mild surprise was Sei Young Kim at 3 over, but she is at least consistent in her unpredictability. Go Sisters!

After showing So Yeon Ryu as "Ritsuko" for the entire broadcast yesterday the crack LET graphics department got right on it to correct the Chyron to read "So Ryu." Who needs those pesky "full names!"

They still managed to find room for Jodi Ewart Shadoff, though.
