Thitikul Blitzes AIG Women's Open Field

Thitikul storms clear at Royal Lytham

Jeeno Thitikul has seized control of the AIG Women's Open with a stunning bogey-free 64 at Royal Lytham & St Annes. Seven birdies gave the Thai star a two-shot cushion after round one. It was ruthless golf.

Two-time major champion Haeran Ryu and Japan's Shiho Kuwaki sit closest, but neither could match Thitikul's blistering pace.

Woad impresses - but left wanting more

Lottie Woad delivered exactly the kind of round England needed - a spotless two-under 69 with zero blemishes on the card. Yet she'll know it could have been better.

An eagle putt on the sixth lipped out agonisingly. Woad admitted she struck plenty of quality shots but couldn't convert enough into birdies. That will sting.

Hull battles nerves in rollercoaster round

Charley Hull's opening day was chaotic, frankly. Six birdies sounds brilliant - until you factor in four bogeys dragging her back to five shots off the lead.

Hull confessed to feeling nervous but insisted she played decently overall. Whether that's enough at this level remains to be seen. The talent is undeniable. The consistency? That's the question.
