So Yeon Ryu Shoots 63 to Take Swinging Skirts Lead
DALY CITY, Calif. — So Yeon Ryu shot a tournament-record 9-under 63 on Thursday to take the first-round lead in the Swinging Skirts LPGA Classic.
Playing in the first group of the day off the 10th tee, the South Korean player had seven birdies in an eight-hole stretch on the back nine and added two more on the front nine at Lake Merced.
"I was kind of lucky to tee it off really early," Ryu said. "I had a really fresh green, no wind. Also San Francisco is really cold in the morning, but this morning it was just perfect temperature.
"I think today just everything was just great. My tee shot was great. I only missed one green today. I shot 17 greens. Putting was really good."
