Oct 22 (Reuters) - South Korea's Ji Eun-hee chipped in twice as she raced to the top of the LPGA Taiwan Championship leaderboard with an opening round of six-under-par 66 on Thursday.
Starting her round at the 10th, Ji made her move on the second nine with four consecutive birdies from the fifth and needed only 23 putts as she made light work of the blustery conditions at the $2 million event.
China's Lin Xi Yu (67) was one shot back in second, with American Morgan Presell (68) in a four-way tie for third alongside Germany's Sandra Gal, Charley Hull of England and Yoo Sun-young of South Korea.
