Women's British Open: Kim Hyo-joo leads after first round

Kim Hyo-joo shot a seven-under-par 65 to take a one-stroke lead after the first round of the Women's British Open at Turnberry in Scotland.

The South Korean, 20, produced a bogey-free round that included an eagle on the 449-yard par-five 14th.

New Zealand's world number two Lydia Ko, 17, and American Cristie Kerr are tied second after carding 66s.

England's Florentyna Parker is in a group of nine players three shots off the pace on four under.

World number one Inbee Park is a shot further behind after a three under 69.

Ko - top of the world rankings at the start of the year - prepared for the tournament by playing in the Scottish Open, where she finished fourth, and produced her best round at a major on Thursday.

"It can get windy here so it takes a lot of patience at times but when you get the opportunities you try and grab them," she said.

Charley Hull endured a disappointing day as the 19-year-old Englishwoman shot a one-over 73, leaving her eight shots off the pace.
