Sei Young Kim shot 8-under 64 to lead the FM Championship at TPC Boston after the first round. The South Korean star, a former World No. 2 and 2020 Women's PGA Champion, finished one shot ahead of two challengers. Island Packet reports that Japan's Miyu Yamashita and Denmark's Emily Kristine Pedersen are tied for second at 7-under 65.
Kim broke a five-year winless streak last October when she won the BMW Ladies Championship in Korea. Yamashita is chasing back-to-back wins after dominating last week's CPKC Women's Open by nine strokes. Pedersen, seeking her first LPGA victory, returned this week after missing months due to wrist surgery.Island Packet
Kim's Hot Finish Delivers First-Round Lead
Sei Young Kim made her mark early at TPC Boston. Island Packet reports she carded an 8-under 64, shooting a scorching back nine to seize control. One shot separated her from the next group of contenders. Her performance marks a strong rebound after years without a win.
The round showcases Kim's return to form. She now has momentum heading into day two. At 64 strokes, she set the pace for the entire 144-player field. This early lead gives her a chance to claim her second LPGA title soon.
Yamashita Hunts Second Straight Victory
Miyu Yamashita sits one back at 7-under 65. Island Packet notes she dominated the CPKC Women's Open last week by nine strokes. Back-to-back wins would cement an impressive stretch for the Japanese star. She has momentum on her side entering round two.
Yamashita proved her recent form is no fluke. Winning by nine strokes shows dominant play. Now she chases another title against a strong field. One shot trails her from victory.
Pedersen Returns From Injury to Chase First LPGA Win
Emily Kristine Pedersen ties for second alongside Yamashita at 7-under 65. Island Packet reports the Danish golfer missed several months of the season recovering from wrist surgery. Her return to competitive form comes at TPC Boston this week. She hunts her first LPGA victory since turning pro.
Pedersen's presence in contention is remarkable given her time away. Wrist injuries can sideline golfers for extended periods. At 7-under after day one, she shows no rust. A win here would mark a major comeback story for the Dane.
