TURNBERRY, Scotland — Donald Trump's show-stealing arrival Thursday at the Women's British Open upstaged Hyo-Joo Kim's latest strong start in a major championship.
The 18-year-old South Korean player was midway through a 7-under 65 in the first round when Trump, the American presidential candidate, landed in a private helicopter to begin a two-day visit at the tournament at his Turnberry resort in western Scotland.
The fourth-ranked Kim, who shot a first-round 61 in winning the Evian Championship in her major championship debut last year, had a one-stroke lead over Lydia Ko and Cristie Kerr.
Top-ranked Inbee Park began her bid to complete a career sweep of the majors by shooting 69.
