Kim shoots 64, leads LPGA’s LA Championship
South Korea’s Sei Young Kim fired a bogey-free eight-under par 64 on Thursday to seize a one-stroke lead after the first round of the LPGA’s LA Championship at Wilshire Country Club. The 29-year-old Kim drained five birdies on the front nine and added three more on the back to finish one shot ahead of American Danielle Kang, who is seeking her first win of the season. Kim, who has won twice on the LPGA Tour this year, found 14 of 18 greens in regulation and hit 11 of 14 fairways.
