Lexi Thompson scorched the front nine in Thailand, carding two eagles on par 5s en route to a 6-under 30. The 21-year-old posted an 8-under 64 to take the early lead at the steamy Honda LPGA Thailand. South Korea’s Q Baek sits alone in second with 65.
“That might have been the first time (I’ve had) two eagles in one round that I know of,” said Thompson, who made a 6-footer for eagle on the first hole and chipped in on the seventh.
Thompson praised both the conditions of the greens and her new driver that she put in the bag this week.
