She made three straight pars before reeling in three birdies in the next five holes to turn in 34.<\/p>\n<p>The 28-year-old then showed her class in her inward-nine with another birdie on the first hole before storming home with an eagle on five, followed by birdies on holes six, eight and nine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt&#8217;s great. I&#8217;m really happy about the start. I&#8217;m hitting my irons better than last week and I feel like I\u2019m shaking off a little rust from the offseason,\u201d said Szokol.<\/p>\n<p>Playing on a medical exemption this week, the American is also pleased to be enjoying a clean bill of health after she was forced to stay away from tournament golf in the second half of last year due to a herniated disk injury.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was out for about four or five months and I didn&#8217;t touch a golf club for about 12 weeks. I was really focused on getting better and feeling healthy. So, I\u2019m really happy to be back playing and especially here,\u201d said Szokol.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hsbcgolf.com\/womens\/womens\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/GettyImages-1470644745_1677747384-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9709\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hsbcgolf.com\/womens\/womens\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/GettyImages-1470644745_1677747384-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1741\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Saso started her front-nine strongly with four birdies to turn in 32. However, the 21-year&#8211;old, who is still searching for her first win since her major breakthrough in 2021, could not repeat a similar run in her back-nine where she only had one birdie on 16 to show for at the Sentosa Golf Club- the world\u2019s first carbon neutral golf club.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWinning on the LPGA is not easy. The quality of the tournaments and players here are very high. I just have to keep grinding and give myself chances every week. But it\u2019s tough. I just have to be patient and enjoy the journey,\u201d said the Filipino-born Japanese.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Korda believes she cannot adopt a conservative approach and has to be aggressive to stand any chance of lifting her ninth LPGA title after marking her card with three birdies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know I\u2019ve gotz to shoot a low one every single day and continue being aggressive to win this tournament. Holing the putts is definitely going to be important and I have to keep the momentum going from last week,\u201d said the American, who finished tied-sixth in Thailand last week.<\/p>\n<p>Defending champion Ko Jin-young of South Korea posted a 72 to trail Szokol by eight shots in tied-36th place while world number one Lydia Ko of New Zealand is a share of 14th place after returning with a 70.<\/p>\n<p>This year marks the 15th edition of the HSBC Women\u2019s World Championship and remarkably, of the 14 previous winners, 12 are Major champions, lending yet further credibility to the player\u2019s claim that this is \u2018Asia\u2019s Major.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elizabeth Szokol of the United States outplayed several of the world\u2019s best players at the Sentosa Golf Club by firing an eight-under-par 64 to take the first round at the HSBC Women\u2019s World Championship on Thursday. 2021 US Women\u2019s Open champion, Yuka Saso showed her major credentials by signing for a bogey-free 67 to trail [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9711,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9706","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorised"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.7 -
