2024 Lotte Championship, Round 1 | LPGA Tour Highlights | Golf Channel

Good start for Brooke Henderson today. She's at the par three 9th. Yeah, this is usually a very firm green place dead down wind. And she's hit a pretty lofted club. Trying to land us about 150. Undercut that landing spot a bit. At the whole is 160, but with this wind and usually how firm the screen is, players trying to land at 150. And play that shot no more than 135. Like that. Yeah, that'll do. She's about 6 feet below the level of the putting surface down in one of those swales. Ball was lying fine and this one should work out rather well. I would say so. 6% up and down right scrambling. Not bad 2 thirds. Here's Jennifer song and she's player who needs a good week veteran. Americano come on. Jennifer song does she even know it's gone in? I don't think she does. Oh, she's gonna love this. This is Yuri Yoshida. Thank you for this is you. You playing there with Yoshida and you joins Yuri. And so both are at 6 under Yoshida made her par to go back and play on her previous tour. The jail PGA. Here's another rookie. This one from Korea, Minji Kang. That's at the 10th. Quite skinny, but agreeing there at the 10th. They've had quite a bit of rain. And I think that in years past, it's played a lot firmer and that's really given these players an opportunity. Caroline, the sun. OK, take sort of two under par. The opposite of that goodness. The whole below her feet for you Lou. This looks like a really good shot, but it's enough. Yeah, that was a wonderful play. That ball was quite a long way below her feet in the rough. Makes it makes it easier to even if the ball sitting up. Oh, this is going to be good. It's gonna be great. That looks like the shot of a two time Lotte Championship winner. Judging that spin, knowing how much. Always seems to be more difficult in the afternoons here. This is really RV the fin at the 14th. Yeah, she tried to manufacture something with a second shot, came up short. That was a much better play from just short of green. Love the breeze. Into the wind, not many crosswind there's a little bit of crosswind on this T shirt off the right as we get. Find a jet overhead. I don't like a very good line from the T. It was. It was a good line and he visuals too. To follow on from here, which is nice, you can go at this one. She knows she can be aggressive. Little bit of help off the right. And this one again, three very similar shots from the T. Yeah, that's a beaut. Hit a beautiful five hybrid to this point. Only other birdie she's made today. It's at the 5th hole. And she needed that one here and that starts to negate those two bogeys she just made. Fairway. Alright, from Yuri to Yuna Yuna Nishimura, also from Japan, also 24 years old and. Like Yuri Yoshida, her countrywoman playing well, that'll take he's alone at the top of some of these dropped shots. Jin Yungko coming off a birdie at 12. Here's her second at 13. The whole was tucked over there above that bunker. She found it. That's more what we come to expect from Jin Yungko. Yua Zhen, a rookie from China. Off the green at 17 and into the hole. Epson to her grad. And she needs a good week. Line is in between the sort of left edge of that TV tower. That's where you want to get the ball to finish. You started it left of that. And with that wind. Fading it to the right, that's more like it. That's how you do it. That's what we've. Been used to with Yoju Kim. Now she's. Yeah, got a lot of wins the last three years. Here's pay you in chin. Oh goodness, almost another hole in one. Wow, she had an ace from Everett. Evian that took like an hour that one. Most dropped in lickety split that you see a lot of players go through preschool and they get through preschool. You think I've made it, but the rats when the real work really begins playing on the LPGA Tour and being competitive. Making adjustments to your game. All that looks good. Making adjustments to your game to. To to compete at the highest level, and that's something that Angela has done for many years now. 24th year on the LPGA Tour, seven wins including that major and a beauty there at the 9th. She'll have that for a closing birdie and then.
