Stephanie Meadow is looking to make the most of her chance at the LPGA’s Volunteers of America Classic this week.
With the help of a blistering start Thursday at Old American Golf Club outside Dallas, Meadow charged to the top of the leaderboard.
Meadow’s five consecutive birdies on the front nine fueled an 8-under 63, good for a two-shot lead on Amy Olson and Dori Carter and a three-shot lead on Moriya Jutanugarn, Cheyenne Knight and Ruixin Liu.
Former world No. 1 Inbee Park and reigning U.S. Women’s Open champ Jeongeun Lee6 are among those four back
“I know I need a big week this week, so whatever I score today didn't really matter,” Meadow said.
