RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. – It’s as though Shanshan Feng never left.

Feng returned to the LPGA Tour with a flourish on Thursday, carding a bogey-free, 67 to vault near the top of the leaderboard on Day 1 of the ANA Inspiration. It was her first competitive start in 16 months, since the 2019 CME Group Tour Championship.

Feng’s round was made more impressive given she said she didn’t pick up a single club during her year away from the tour.
