Women's Olympic event: Madelene Sagström in the lead, Delacour 16th
The Swedish Madelene Sagström took the lead in the leaderboard after the first round, on the course of the Kasumigaseki Country club in the town of Kawagoe, where 60 players set out in search of an Olympic medal. Perrine Delacour, the first French in the provisional ranking, is in 16th position (-1), while Céline Boutier is 41st (+3).
After seeing Xander Sc Chaudele win the men's gold medal last week, the Kasumigaseki Country Club course welcomes the ladies for the women's Olympic event this week. After the first round, the Swedish Madelene Sagström is therefore alone in the lead with a card of 66 (-5), a solid card with 5 birdies for no bogey.
She is closely followed by the Indian Aditi Ashok and the American world number 1 Nelly Corda who both made a card of 67 (-4). The two Japanese Nasa Hataoka and Mone Inami, playing on their soil, both rank 16th with cards of 70 (-1).
