Yani Tseng
Shrugging off any hint of nerves or distraction, world #1 Yani Tseng opened her quest to win the inaugural Sunrise LPGA Taiwan Championship on her home soil the way she has played all year, in dominant fashion. After round 1, Yani finds herself tied for 1st place with Japan’s Ai Miyazato at 4-under. Ok, maybe there were a wee bit of nerves, as Yani opened her round with a bogey. But she quickly righted the ship with 5 birdies, to the delight of a huge supporting crowd.
I feel very excited today because it is the first time in my life to see so many fans out here supporting all of the different countries and even other Taiwanese players. The crowd today is really amazing, it is so much fun to look out and see all of the different Taiwanese fans…I was nervous until my caddy tried to make me focus on my shot and ignore everything to take it one shot at a time. – Yani Tseng
Don’t expect the rest of the field to roll over and let Yani just waltz to a storybook win in front of her home crowd. Ai Miyazato went on a front 9 birdie-fest, scoring on holes 5, 6, 8 and 9 before adding a birdie and bogey on the back 9 to tie Yani for the lead despite dealing with windy conditions.
This is the first time in Taiwan for me as well. I’m very excited to be here because I’ve never been here. But it’s so, you know, fun to be here, because I can see that so many people are really nice over here, and the food is really good. It’s just too windy. But I really enjoy the weather, too, so I really like it. – Ai Miyazato
By the way, any controversy as to which flag would be displayed was put to rest as the national flag of Taiwan was on prominent display everywhere on day one. The LPGA uses the Chinese Taipei Olympic flag on the live scoring leaderboard.
