'Hot Six' Lee Jung-six (27, Daebang Construction) got off to a strong start on the first day of the AIG Women's Open ($9 million purse), the final major of the U.S. Women's Professional Golf (LPGA) Tour season.

Lee carded four birdies and a bogey for a 3-under 69 in the first round of the tournament at the par-72 Walton Heath Golf Club in Surrey, England, on Tuesday (Sept. 10).

With afternoon play underway, Lee is one of three players to finish in the 60s so far.

She is tied for the lead with Perrine Delacourt (FRA) and Emilie Christine Pedersen (DEN) as of 11:40 p.m. ET.

After establishing herself on the domestic scene, she arrived in the U.S. in 2019 and got off to a flying start, winning the U.S. Women's Open in her rookie year and claiming Rookie of the Year honors.

However, her pace slowed somewhat over the next three years as she didn't win another title. This season has been no different, with no top 10s and six missed cuts in the 15 tournaments leading up to this event.

She raised expectations with a strong first day in such a big tournament.

Lee parred the front nine to finish at even par.

He continued his par streak until the 10th (par-4), the first hole of the second round, when he made his first birdie of the day at the 11th (par-5). He followed that up with a bogey at the 12th, but bounced back with a birdie at the 13th (par-4).

He turned up the intensity on the back. He birdied the 16th (par-5) and then the 18th (par-4) to finish tied for the lead.

Women's World No. 2 Jin Young Ko (28-Solare), who is traveling [카지노사이트](https://www.oncasinosite.net) from France to Jeju Island and back to England, finished the first day of play at 1-over par.

Ko had four birdies in the first round, but three bogeys and a double bogey slowed her down to a 1-over par 73.

World No. 1 Nellie Koda (USA) and veteran Ji-Ae Shin (35-Suburban) finished with identical scores and are tied for 57th so far.

Ji-Eun Shin (31-Hanwha Q CELLS) finished with a 1-under 71 and is tied for 10th place.

Last week's runner-up at the Scottish Open, Hyo Joo Kim (28-LOTTE), is also in the same position after playing the front nine at 1-under par.

Jeon In-ji (29-KB Financial Group), who is attempting to complete a career grand slam, is tied for 28th after playing the back nine at even par.
