Lexi Thompson takes early lead at KPMG Women’s PGA Championship

Lexi Thompson took a one-shot lead in the opening round of the Women’s PGA Championship with a four-under-par 68. She made three straight birdies to start her round. Charley Hull and Leona Maguire were a shot behind, while Yuka Saso struggled with four consecutive bogeys. Thompson, who is retiring from full-time golf, remains focused on playing well. Nelly Korda bounced back with a 69 after missing her last two cuts. Maguire, who led the tournament last year, finished four shots back. The course proved challenging for the players.
