KAPOLEI, Hawaii – Nelly Korda took advantage when Hawaii's tough trade winds took a break.
Korda rolled in the last of her nine birdies at the 18th in a bogey-free round of 63 Wednesday for a one-shot lead after the opening round of the Lotte Championship at Ko Olina Golf Club.
''I got here Saturday and I swear I couldn't even walk because it was so windy,'' said Korda, who is making her Lotte debut. ''But I like the place. Everyone is really friendly and it just feels good to be here.''
Eun-Hee Ji birdied six of the final eight holes for an 8-under 64.
