LOS ANGELES — England's Charley Hull fired a nine-under par 63 to seize a one-stroke lead over Denmark's Nanna Koerstz Madsen after Thursday's first round of the LPGA Ford Championship . Hull 's bogey-free morning round at Whirlwind Golf Club came with a new driver after suffering a 'tweaked' club early in the week. 'I really hit it well. I felt like that put me in a lot of good positions,' Hull said. 'I putted pretty well. I chipped pretty well.
The hole before I left it like an inch short. So I'm looking back thinking I could have done more.' Madsen birdied the par-4 18th to close within a stroke but a lone bogey at the par-4 fifth kept her adrift of Hull. 'Stayed in fairways, so that made it a little easier,' Madsen said. 'I made a couple good putts and some good, steady birdies.' The 64 was her second-lowest round in an LPGA event. 'It's a pretty scorable course,' she said.
