SINGAPORE | As temperatures soared in Singapore, Inbee Park rose to the challenge of Sentosa Golf Club, carding a first-round 64 to lead after 18 holes. Park, who went bogey-free and recorded eight birdies, hit every fairway and missed only two greens on the New Tanjong Course.
“I hit a lot of great shots but probably left myself a lot of ten to 15-footers, and I was able to make most of them, which has been the difference this year,” said Park. “You know, holing putts when you need to hole, especially ten to 15-footers, so those percentage the last few years wasn t that great but this year has been a little better. So I think that really paid off today.”

Lydia Ko has made what she calls “a pretty good start” at the HSBC Women’s World Championship in Singapore, but sits five shots off the lead at the end of the opening round.
The Kiwi golfer finished the day at three-under on the Tanjong Course at Sentosa Golf Club, good enough to have her in a tie for 14th, and said she would hopefully “continue the momentum and keep building from today’s round”.
