Lydia Ko is in a tie for 30th after her first round as a professional.
Ko shot a one-under 71 to kick-start her bid for the LPGA Tour season-ending Titleholders tournament in Florida this morning.
Ko will be reasonably satisfied after finding herself three-over the card after seven holes, a poor start that included a double-bogey on the par four third.
Ko made another bogey at the seventh, missing a 2-foot putt for par.
"It was a silly mistake," Ko said. "I have a tendency to kind of jam the putt in with the short ones. I think I tried to do that, but on a slight downhill slope it was too much," she told the Golf Channel.
