Chella Choi was the first player to enter the clubhouse at 4-under, getting as far as 6-under par before bogeys on her final two holes, which also served as her first bogeys of the round. The 35-year-old has played in one event in the last two seasons after giving birth.

Her lone career win came at the 2015 Marathon Classic. Ina Yoon joined her shortly thereafter. The South Korean has plenty of momentum headed into Friday's second round after an eagle on her 16th hole and a birdie on her 17th hole.
