Jinyoung Ko, the under-par march ends after 8 months… 74 on the first day of the Chevron Championship

Jinyoung Ko’s under-par streak stopped at round 34.

Jinyoung Ko hit a 2-over par 74 in the first round of the Chevron Championship, a major event on the LPGA Tour, held today (1st) at Mission Hills Country Club in Rancho Mirage, California, USA.

Jinyoung Ko continued the under-par round for 33 rounds from the 4th round of the Evian Championship in July last year to the 4th round of the JTBC Classic on the 27th of last month.

33 consecutive rounds of under par is an LPGA Tour record.

It is the first time Jin-young Ko recorded an over-par score in 8 months after hitting 76 in the third round of the Evian Championship in July last year.

Jinyoung Ko, who started the game on the 10th hole, pared 9 holes and bogeyed on the 1st hole (par 4) and the 8th hole.

None of the birdies were caught.

The shot was not bad with a green hit rate of 77.8%, but he struggled on the green.

Jinyoung Ko said, “I didn’t understand the slope and speed of the green properly.” “The speed of the green was a little slow.”

Lee Min-ji took the lead with Jennifer Cupcho with a 6-under 66 shot, and Kim Se-young, Kim Hyo-joo, and Kim A-rim laid the foundation for entry into the upper ranks with a 2-under par.

Hyejin Choi hit an even par 72.
