“It was great. Had a really good warmup. I just felt really good,” said Kemp. “And sometimes you just feel like you’re going to play well, and it was one of those days. Hit some great shots. Made some putts. I didn’t miss a whole lot of fairways. Probably had under 30 putts, and that leads to 4-under.”

Kemp fired the round of the day with six birdies and two bogeys and didn’t realize how well she had played until she got into the scoring tent. “I asked my caddie, ‘what did we shoot?’” she said.

Kemp, who has had twelve worldwide professional wins though she has yet to break through on the LPGA Tour in 13 seasons, has seen her game improve dramatically in the last year. 

“ I really turned my putting around at the end of last year,” she said. “I worked really hard. I was annoyed because I had hit the ball great for a couple years and I just didn’t convert the opportunities. 

“I worked really hard on my pace and like today, the pace of my putts has been really good. I’m getting it three feet past (the hole), which I like. That’s a good putt. Have a go. So, just putting really, because I feel like I’ve hit the ball the same for a couple years now.”

Behind Kemp were Americans Stacy Lewis (69) and Jessica Korda (67) who carded two eagles on two separate par-5s.

“Obviously the eagles help. If you take those eagles away, I would’ve shot even par today, so eagles always help,” said Korda.

Alongside the two Americans is Slovanian rookie Ana Belac, who was the Symetra Tour’s 2020 Player of the Year. 

Rolex Ranking No. 3 Sei Young Kim and Wei-Ling Hsu are in a group of five players tied for 5th at 4-under.
