(Reuters) - Australian Minjee Lee and Thai Moriya Jutanugarn took advantage of their morning tee times to share the first-round lead on four-under-par 68 at the LOTTE Championship in Hawaii on Wednesday.

Lee, 19, a former world number one-ranked amateur who won in her rookie LPGA season in 2015, mixed six birdies with two bogeys on the Ko Olina course in Kapolei on the island of Oahu.

Jutanugarn, the 2013 LPGA Rookie of the Year, managed seven birdies, along with a bogey and a double bogey, as the pair coped with challenging morning winds that became even stronger during the afternoon.
