Khang, Hull, Nomura Tied for Lead in LPGA Tour Opener

PARADISE ISLAND, Bahamas — Megan Khang shot a 5-under 68 in strong wind Friday for a share of the lead in the season-opening Pure Silk-Bahamas LPGA Classic, her first event as an LPGA Tour member.

The 18-year-old Khang eagled the par-5 fourth hole and had four birdies and a bogey in wind gusting to 30 mph at the Ocean Club to match England's Charley Hull and Japan's Haru Nomura at 8-under 138

"It was such a grind," Khang said. "To come out with 68 is incredible. Can't wait for the weekend."

Hull and Nomura each shot 70.
