Charley Hull made an unforgettable start in its European tour season to reduce four shocks from the early supremacy in Saudi PIF Ladies International.
Hull, making her first allowed since winning the Aramco team’s series event in Riyadh last November, recorded three birds in a first 69 opening on Riyadh Golf Club.
English English made a double bird in the fifth fifth of the fifth and got another stroke in the seventh, with hull ending a pants making a last para-floor to reach three under.
Hull sits connected-20 after the day of the three-day tour opening and is in contact with the early leader Somi Lee, who mixed eight birds with a single noise to set the rhythm with a seven-nine year.
“I feel great,” Lee said. “Last year, I had a problem with my shots, so that was the part I focused on during winter training. It worked very well, so I’m very happy about it.”

Lee posted four birds in a five -hole stretch around the bend and made the bird each of its last three holes in the edge in front of a compressed leader, with the Solheim Cup Esther Henselei player a bonded stroke, along with Annabell Fuller of England.
Henselei and Fuller both did Bogey without starting a week, while World No. 4 Jeeno Thiticul is in Logjam dividing fourth place to five under and former Solheim Cup Van Dam player is three out of rhythm.
“I just hit him very constantly today, I hit my cuffs beautifully and luckily, I retired a couple of strokes,” Fuller said. “In the par, I had a fast bird so that it was very stressless.”
Cara Gainer – who claimed her daughter let her allow the title in Lalla Meryem last week – began with one under 71 years old.
In the team with 36 holes, running along with the individual event, Stephanie Kyriacou’s team holds an advantage with a blow to the Lee team. The two best results in each hole from a four -player team count to the result, with Kyriacou ending the day on 18 under.
