"Actually, all of my shots (were) very good," Ji said. "My putting was doing very good."

"I think there should be a lot of low scores," Kim said.

Defending champion Karrie Webb opened with a 2-under 70 and is tied with Ashleigh Simon and Angela Park for 13th place.

Two-time winner Annika Sorenstam mixed five birdies and four bogeys for a round of 1-under 71 to share 16th place with Laura Davies and Rachel Hetherington among others.
