The 18-year old amateur was granted a sponsor’s exemption and finished her first professional tournament in last place with a score of 13-over par 83. I hit many good shots, but they were in the wrong places. She said, “It’s my first LPGA and I know the basics now.” I was a bit out of place at first, but then I got going.”Trump received applause when she was introduced at the par-4 10th, alongside Hinako shibuno from Japan and Germany’s Olivia Cowan. This also happened after her opening tee-shot hit the fairway. Open image in galleryKai, the youngest golfer in the field, had a slow debut on her professional debut.

She mixed two bogeys and a pair pars, with an impressive up-and down save at the sixteenth to reach the turn in six-over-41. After the turn, the back nine was even more difficult, as she dropped a shot, then made two double-bogeys, and finally two bogeys on her final three. I thought that I did well for my first round, as the youngest player on the field. “I had a wonderful time out there.” Hae Ran Ryu, from South Korea, took the lead in The Annika hosted by LPGA legend Annika Sorenstam with an opening score of six-under par 64. Grace Kim, of Australia, was one shot behind. American Jennifer Kupcho, world number six Charley Hull and a group behind her were two shots back.
