LOS ANGELES – Kim Sei-young birdied six of the first 10 holes on her way to a six-under 66, grabbing a one-stroke lead after the opening day of the LPGA Match Play tournament on April 3.

The 31-year-old South Korean has not won an LPGA title since the November 2020 Pelican Championship, which came a month after her lone Major triumph at the Women’s PGA Championship.
