SAN DIEGO (AP) - South Koreans Song-Hee Kim and Jiyai Shin each shot 6-under 66s to share the lead atop the elite 20-player field in the opening round of the Samsung World Championship at Torrey Pines on Thursday.
Kim was the runner-up in this tournament last year, losing by one stroke to Paula Creamer at Half Moon Bay in Northern California. Kim started strong, with five birdies in her first eight holes on the South Course. Shin, coming off her U.S. LPGA Tour-leading third victory of the year at the NW Arkansas Championship, had four birdies on the back nine.
