Ko, who won the Mediheal Championship in a playoff in 2018 at the same course, had five bogeys in her opening round, including three on the back nine. She was one-under through the front nine, but then bogeyed her 11th, 13th, and 17th holes. Ko had five birdies in her round, including the par-five ninth (her 18th) to finish the day even.
