Choi sets pace in Ohio

South Korea’s Na Yeon Choi posted a seven-under-par 64 on Thursday to establish a one-shot lead after the first round of the Jamie Farr Owens Corning Classic in Sylvania, Ohio.

The 22-year-old picked up eight birdies and dropped only one shot – at the second – at Highland Meadows Golf Club to banish memories of last week’s missed cut at the LPGA Championship.
