Leading is American Jennifer Kupcho along with Australian Minjee Lee, both on 66 strokes.
- It was perfect.
The conditions are fantastic, says Lee.
Further down the list of results are Madelene Sagström - shared place 27 after 71 strokes, one under par - and Pernilla Lindberg - 73 strokes, one over par.
Something that surprised was world setter Ko Jin-Young's bad start.
The South Korean hit two bogeys and will have a hard time managing the cut with her 74 strokes in the first round.
- Everything was wrong.
I do not know what happened, she says herself about her game.
