Women’s PGA Championship: Chun In-gee scripted a record after equaling 64 in the first round.

South Korea's Chun In-gee has set a sparkling pace at the Women’s PGA Championship, and scripted a record-equaling 64 to take the clubhouse lead on eight under par.

The two-time major winner sets the new course record at Congressional Country Club and took a first-round lead.

The last player to open the Women's PGA Championship with a 64 was Nicole Castrale in 2006.

After her magnificent round, Chun In-gee said “I feel so good because I always think when my name is going with something, then I feel very honored and it makes me keep going to play golf.”
