Yuna Nishimura fired a scorching 8-under 63 to seize the first-round lead at the Walmart Northwest Arkansas Championship. It was a masterclass display that left the rest of the field scrambling.
Charley Hull had no business being this good. The Englishwoman was bedridden with tonsillitis after the Solheim Cup. She barely practised before arriving in Arkansas. Yet she posted a 6-under 65, sitting just one stroke behind Yu Liu and level with Solheim Cup teammate Celine Boutier in a share of second place.
Fellow Englishwoman Caley McGinty gave herself the perfect birthday gift - a tidy 66 to mark a standout moment in her season.
Hull admitted the atmosphere felt far more relaxed than the pressure-cooker of the Solheim Cup. Her partner Lottie Woad joined several Solheim Cup players for a team dinner in Arkansas, keeping the camaraderie alive.
Fan favourite Gaby Lopez opened with a solid 66. Arkansas standout Maria Jose Marin had a rougher day, limping to a 74.
