Both eagled the par-5 3rd hole and while Ewart Shadoff remained bogey-free, Ryu, who started on the back nine, bogeyed the par-4 14th.
“I made a birdie-birdie start, after that it was a bit slow,” said Ryu. “I did make an eagle on No. 3. To be honest, the eagle putt I think was a little bit too much speed, but I was able to hit the center of the cup. That one really picked me up.”
Back-to-back-to-back birdies to finish the first round of the @ShopRiteLPGA and @1soyeonryu is the clubhouse leader at 6-under! 😤

Ewart Shadoff’s 65 was her first under par opening round since the Marathon LPGA Classic presented by Dana in July
“I hit a really good hybrid from about 200 yards and was about 10 feet away,” she said of her eagle. “Yeah, it was nice to get one to drop early. I think that really started [getting] the momentum going for me.
“Holed a lot of putts today. It was very steady. Got up and down from the back of the green [on No. 9 for birdie]. I had a good one on No. 5, too. Tough pin on that ridge. Then a good closing birdie on the last hole.”

“I played this tournament in 2018 when I was a rookie and I did not play good, so I want to play better than 2018,” said Ko. “This course is not too long, so I have to get a lot of birdies. Even par-5s, you can get hybrid or iron to the green from second shot.
“I had great round today and lot of birdies. But I had two bogeys, so had to stay patient, good attitude.”
2019 champion Lexi Thompson of the USA shot a 68 and lies in T21 while defending champion Mel Reid of England shot a 71 for a share of 70th place.
