The Latest: Thai golfer leads women after 1st Olympic round

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — The Latest on the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro (all times local):

5 p.m.

Ariya Jutanugarn of Thailand is the first 18-hole leader in the history of women's golf in the Olympics.

Jutanugarn had a little bit of everything on her scorecard Wednesday and wound up with a 6-under 65 for a one-shot lead over seven-time major champion Inbee Park and Seiyoung Kim, both of South Korea.

This is the first time for women's golf to be in the Olympics since the Paris Games in 1900, and back then it was only a nine-hole competition.
