In Gee Chun opened with an 8-under 64 to take a five-stroke lead in the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship.

She tied the record for the largest 18-hole lead in a major championship following Mickey Wright who led by five in the 1961 edition that she went on to win.
“The course, after a lot of rain, feels longer,” said the South Korean. “At the same time, greens were softer. So I think it was just a balance.”
Most strokes gained total in a single round in the last 10 years at the @KPMGWomensPGA.

Defending champion Nelly Korda is tied in sixth place at 1-under alongside eight other players including fellow American Jennifer Kupcho.
“I feel like I played really well. The course is really hard,” said Kupcho. “I don’t really know how In Gee is 8-under right now. That’s definitely an outlier.”
