A bogey at the last has seen Lydia Ko card an even par round to begin the Women's Open Championship at Muirfield in Scotland.
The Kiwi sits six shots back from leader Hinako Shibuno of Japan, who started the tournament with a blistering six-under 65. The 2019 Women's Open Championship winner has a one-shot lead over Jessica Korda, who has yet to win a major in 58 attempts. Her best finish was second place at the Chevron Championship earlier this year.
As it stands, 42 of the 144-player field are even par or better on the course that until 2017 didn't allow female members. There are currently players still out on the course.
Ko has one top-10 finish at the Open Championship (when she tied for third in 2015) since her first appearance as an amateur in 2012. Playing with Ireland's Leona Maguire and Nasa Hataoka of Japan, all three shot even-par rounds as Ko book-ended her round with bogeys at the first and 18th holes.
Ko had three birdies and three bogeys as she strayed between one-over and one-under in windy conditions.
