Sei Young Kim Leads T-Mobile Match Play in Las Vegas; Nelly Korda Struggles

Sei Young Kim shot six-under par to claim the lead at the T-Mobile Match Play in Las Vegas, showcasing her skills on the golf course and setting the pace for the tournament. The South Korean golfer made five birdies on the front nine, finishing with a stellar six-under-par 66 at Shadow Creek Golf Course.

Kim’s impressive performance left her one stroke ahead of Rose Zhang and Danielle Kang, who are tied for second place. Australia’s Minjee Lee, Japan’s Yuka Saso, and Sweden’s Anna Nordqvist are tied for fourth at three under par, adding to the competitive field at the tournament.

World No 1 Nelly Korda, aiming for a fourth successive LPGA tour title, had a challenging start with a one-over par round. The pressure is on for Korda to make a comeback and extend her winning streak, with Lorena Ochoa being the last LPGA Tour player to achieve four consecutive victories back in 2008.
