After the first round of this second major of the season, it is the American Mina Harigae who takes the lead of the event. Still without a win on the LPGA Tour, the Solheim Cup player returns to the clubhouse with nine birdies for two bogeys and therefore a card of 64 (-7). She was able to rely on excellent driving during this first day with 100% of fairways hit and above all, an average of 24 putts!
