Ireland's Leona Maguire is just two shots off the lead after the opening day of the LPGA Drive On Championship.
Maguire carded five birdies and two bogeys in a three-under-par 69 at Golden Ocala Golf Club as the American trio of Nelly Korda, Jennifer Kupcho and Austin Ernst set the pace on five under.
Korda is looking to claim back-to-back wins and make it a family treble after following her sister into the winner’s circle with victory in the Gainbridge LPGA event last week.
The 22-year-old’s older sister Jessica won the Diamond Resorts Tournament of Champions in January, meaning the Kordas joined Annika and Charlotta Sorenstam as sisters to win consecutive events on the LPGA Tour.
Jessica Korda was alongside Maguire and former world number one Lydia Ko on three under par, with England’s Mel Reid and Bronte Law on two under.
Maguire's fellow Irish Olympian Stephanie Meadow sits in a share of 29th place after carding a one-under 71, which featured three birdies and two bogeys.
