Jin Joo Hong takes the lead in first round of Honda LPGA Thailand

Jin Joo Hong fired a six-under 66 to take a two-stroke lead after the first round of the Honda LPGA Thailand.  After hitting three birdies and a pair of bogeys on the front nine, Hong improved after the turn to eagle the par-five 11th before adding three more birdies on her way in to finish two ahead of a group of four players on four-under 68.

One of them is Angela Stanford, who won the season-opening SBS Open at Turtle Bay. The American got off to a bad start with a bogey on the first hole, but rebounded with birdies on two and three. She is joined in second place by Paula Creamer, Kristy McPherson, Brittany Lang and Helen Alfredsson.
