A Lim Kim shot a 7-under 65 on a rainy and breezy Thursday at Hoakalei Country Club to take the first-round lead in the LPGA Tour's LOTTE Championship. The 30-year-old Kim, a three-time LPGA Tour winner, birdied Nos. 15-17 and closed her bogey-free morning round with a par on the par-5 18th. Fellow South Korean player Ina Yoon pulled even with Kim at 7 under with a birdie on the par-4 third hole, but dropped back with a bogey on the par-4 sixth.
