Katsu and Choi shoot 61 to share first-round lead at The Annika
Lindy Duncan was one shot back and Nelly Korda trailed by two.
Minami Katsu and Hye-Jin Choi opened with 9-under 61s on Thursday to share the first-round lead at The Annika in Belleair, Florida.
Lindy Duncan shot 62 to finish the day one stroke off the lead. Nelly Korda was another shot back after a 63 at Pelican Golf Club, putting her in fourth place entering Friday’s second round.
Korda entered the week with a chance to reach the LPGA Hall of Fame points threshold. The opening round left her two strokes behind two players as she pursued the point awarded to the winner of a regular LPGA event.
