Danielle Kang lived up to her pre-tournament favorite by taking part of the lead after the opening round of the LPGA Drive On Championship.

The number 5 in the world, the top ranked player in the field and current leader of the Race to CME Globe, carded a bogey-free 65 on the Great Waters Course at Reynolds Lake Oconee.

Kang is seven under with Jennifer Song, who also took advantage of the better goal conditions for the afternoon wave, while Ally MacDonald lost the pace in third.

Song hit 14 out of 14 fairways and 18 out of 18 regulated greens during her opening round

This course is very tough and in the afternoon the greens got really crispy so there was a lot of calculations, “Song said.” I didn’t think it was possible to get that score out there, but I had a great lap. “”

Swede Pernilla Lindberg leads European interest, in sixth place three strokes behind the pace, while youngest winner Mel Reid in the group of three is below the group that includes French Celine Boutier.
