Condensed Rd. 1 | 2025 Honda LPGA Thailand

And Yuko Sasso here in her first hole for Eagle. Down the hill, left to right. In it goes. At the first, this is with Ronnie Yin. This is her third shot. This was stunning. Had to float that, landed as soft as hell. That didn't go in. It's unbelievable. Gino, in great form, having won her last two starts worldwide. And off to a really nice start here. That was a birdie at the first. Back to the U.S. in March. Here's Gino, second at the second. That was pretty spectacular, coming out of the rough. You can see on the leaderboard. She's a twin. An identical twin. And they're both playing. Amazing, isn't it? That's all brought with danger, isn't it, when you've got identical twins playing in a tournament. Chisato is her sister. Wonderful putt there from Ronnie. We're going to see some real action going on out with this group. These are Eagle. Two great shots in there. But this is just to take the lead in her own. Very nicely done. Great playing so far. Conventional putter at the moment. Iwai on the tee at 8. Yeah, playing 153 yards this par 3, just up at the top of the steep slope. Oh, what a shot. Really, you've just got to land it just a yard over that slope. As we go to Sasso on 3. This is for par. Now that turned late. That did not. It really slowed up at the hole and made it a severe turn. That was very well done to get out of that with a 4. I would imagine, Katrina, when you start missing it around here, you get in trouble, especially around these greens. Yeah, they're not the easiest greens. And the fairways are. They're beautiful, but they're quite tight to chip from. Coughlin a breakout. Yeah, one twice made her way to the Solheim Cup for the United States as well, which was in her home state of Virginia in the US. And another player is going to use that backstop. You can do that very successfully around this golf course, because there's a number of areas. I thought your pill. And here's Gino just from 120 yards. A lovely wedge shot. Oh, that's such a beautiful line. Here is the eagle putt now for Lauren Coughlin at the 7th. See if she can fall over a brawl and she has. It's giving up a few eagles today. Young you can see her looking right up the green there. Oh, and a lovely shot. This is a really tricky pin here today. Just there's a big rich that runs. You can just see it. Her balls going to come down, but it's going to pick up speed here. That was well played. Tricky pin to try and get close to. Pin on this whole 13 on just five from the left hand side. About there. Wow. That's more like that. That's pretty good area. Jutanugan at number 8. Looks good. Oh straight. That is such. Hadon you's got it to the back tier. She could do with this one like that, like that rabbit down a hole, isn't it? Really short at the 10th. Yeah, won this event in 2014. And that's going to be nice. Come down the slope. She knows all the slopes and she does has been around here. Seems to be a little tight down that right hand side though. There are some overhanging trees you've got to negotiate. It's a slight dogleg, right? You do want to try. Great shot there from Jung Yong can see nothing. Make a three. Yeah, this time the Potter works. Easiest hole in the. Pop up for area Jutanugan on 9. When she does that, well done area. How much she? Yeah, part three playing 165 yards. Just tucks over that bunker on the right hand side. Yeah, I want a lovely shot there for me. Why went to the LPG's? To be a good two part. Yeah, really good. Amy Yang second at the 11th. We talked earlier about how much success she's had here at the Honda LPGA Thailand three victories. They should give you the trophy. This is treacherous. This green always has been, and this is one tough pin over that right bunker. Treacherous pin Sandy. Well, he is a treacherous pin, but also. EY now third at 13th. Coming up a little hump in the green. Yes, awkward looking chip. You see the difference in the greens, but she's played that nicely. Just pitched it into the hill and let it run down beautiful line. Important week for Georgia. She's having to play on a sponsor invite. Ranking on tour did not get her into the field automatically, and so good week here would really been piece of rubron. She's going to make it a long one. Yeah, she's had some highlights today. 7th hole Maya Stark the par 5. They have bought the T forward. See how tight those trees get on that right hand side. Oh come on beautiful shot from my left it below the flag uphill putt for an eagle. Gina third shot here trying to give herself a chance at par. It's been back, come on. It's gonna be speedy though to tie the lead. Hasn't she been a sneaky one today? Maya Stark givers giving yourself a nice chance that. The shot there and so well done left herself just 20 under plus. Yeah, so. Ronnie was always an awkward shot as to where that break to get it out on the break to hit it hard enough to get it out there on the right line. Looking good. Well done. She's a wonderful order and what a good fall from her. This hole in the golf course 17th hole. Currently the hardest this was playing is the hardest gosh that's a good for saving for from where she was on that right hand side and she knows it's down from the clubhouse down onto the golf course play down the hill at number one number 10. This is EY at 14. Excuse me, third at 9. Oh yeah, knock it in second at 8. I think second at 8. We said the jet lag. The jet lag. It is not easy making that transition to come over here. It's pretty there on the 12th. Second at the 11th. Oh, that's a nice shot. Just left below. The player Monday qualified for the Standard Portland Classic in 2023 and shot 6563 on the weekend to win for the first time on the LPGA Tour. Steph Kiriakou on the T at the 8th. Tackle is unfortunate. Now we look at Mario Jutanigan. Sitting. So she sneaks up into a tie for third. 30 at 10. Going to be in doubt. Angel Yin. At minus four. Now there's a sneaky move through the day. He now goes up into a tie for third. Gabby ruffles territory, but oh yeah. Now just go sideways at the end. They know something. If you get beyond the hole, you must hold it on the back. This is at the 15th in why? Check their short powerful edge enjoy for a birdie at the 15th. Very nice, as you're saying, the 279 yards reachable nearly the rookie from Japan to take the outright lead here in Thailand. Yeah, three holes to play. Going along very well. It's been here in 16th, 23 yards on and just six from the left. Lovely shot there. Birdie putt Virginia and Co. A few issues with the putter. Earlier in the round that one falls. Two under par. If you play well, do you get the chance to come and play in these events? Mouse I go. Another good shot there. It's just going to be gentle fall to the left. I would think from here. Good parts. This is some range of golf. Yeah, so I'm taking some parts on this part three. Gin and Co. Birdie putt at 13. Nice bold stroke straight in the front. Forge was a prolific winner on the tour. It's been a couple of years now for Brooke. We know how talented she is. Oh, come on. Oh, it's a very nice shot. Early in her career, she was in the mix to win a US Women's Open for Lily of the 14th. Very nicely played there from Lillian. Very part for you. Get it to four under. Look like it was going to be a very promising day after that start. Look at that eagle. Another one who leaves the flagstick in. Well, well done 6 under 66. Lovely round there. Gets this running across on that slope. Could very easily move run off on the left hand side. One shot and I've just said all that and that is just absolutely spectacular. She's gone right over the top of that tree that was here. Just one hop and then let it release to the whole perfect. Nice try. Yeah, what? For the rookie. Yeah, you I. What a fantastic round. Just look at all that red. No blemishes, just she just played a beautiful round of golf. Little bit of pressure. Yeah, multiple winner on the JLPG tour coming up a really good season. So we watch Brooke. Oh no way. Part of the day sorry. That is just perfect. Such a long way away. 6 events. And of course went on to qualify for the tour. That's why she's here this week. This is Lauren Coughlin. For a birdie. Yeah, just gets her into red figures. She's using that lane. A lot of players use a lane to line up. Takes it a minus four, so just in a really nice comfortable being very, very low today. Is Clement you might be watching her for the Curtis Cup as an opposition next year? Do you know what time I don't really watch the opposition much? You go for the birdie. Trying to retain the cup, but you already have it. We managed and struggling a little bit with her golf swing and especially her iron game can see one over par for the day, but manages to get it back to where she started is for birdie. This to get her back in the or get her into the red. She would really want to be finishing there at the end of the day, and she has done it. That was a beautiful part. Beautiful pace. Sarah Schmelzer on the T at the 8th player who helped the United States win the Soheim Cup. A moment in her career to get it. Oh, she's gonna do it. We were revving the. Rain that we had yesterday. Schmelzer is going to just tap that in. A couple of rolls away, maybe one roll away from. Winning that Honda Goldwing hole in one prize or million dollar first prize check and then starts the season in Saudi Arabia and gets the win there. Never in doubt that 25 year old sponsor invite Java Reboon chant. Finish 146 last year. So needed the invite to get in line on the camera tower. Katrina is at the line. I think that's the line of the flag. The one slight advantage is she had the ball above her feet which would help a little drop which should be probably looking for into that back left pin and really a rather simple shot. Let's see if she can make it three in a row. Such a class. I guess you're in the red figures. Nice little uphill right to left. She finished with a birdie. Watch out. She's played solid good golf today and she can be very dangerous. Really gotta have the number of the distance dialed in here. She did has played well late in the round, trying to finish with a flurry of birdies. Three great shots. Three really good chances there. Like that great finish there. It's in there on this back 9.
