About this listen

 Round one of the FM Championship delivered plenty of excitement with three players sharing the lead at seven-under par. Sei Young Kim, a 12-time LPGA winner and 2020 major champion, is looking to break her winless streak, while England’s Jodi Ewart-Shadoff surged with eight birdies for a share of the top spot. Joining them is American Allisen Corpuz, who bounced back in style after several missed cuts, reminding everyone of the form that earned her a podium finish earlier this season. Just one stroke back, rookie Miranda Wang impressed with nine birdies, the most of the day, offset by three bogeys. A deep pack sits at five-under, including Andrea Lee, Nelly Korda, Minjee Lee, Celine Boutier, Madison Young, Emily Kristine Pedersen, and Weiwei Zhang. With so many big names already near the top, the stage is set for a thrilling battle heading into round two.
