Description

The "Asia’s Major" returns to Singapore as the Sentosa Golf Club hosts the 18th edition of the HSBC Women's World Championship. Featuring 15 of the top 20 players in the Rolex Rankings, the field is headlined by world No. 1 Jeeno Thitikul, who arrives fresh off a victory in Thailand. Defending champion Lydia Ko aims to become the tournament's first three-time winner, facing stiff competition from a resurgent Jin Young Ko and the consistent Nelly Korda. The Tanjong Course, known for its undulating greens and challenging "Zorro Zoysia" fairways, will reward precision iron play and patience in the high humidity. With no cut and a $1.8 million purse, the stage is set for a high-intensity battle among the global elite of women's golf.

Result Description

American Auston Kim delivered a statement performance in the opening round, carding a brilliant 6-under 66 to take a one-shot lead at Sentosa. Kim’s round was nearly flawless, featuring seven birdies and a lone bogey, as she successfully navigated the sweltering heat and tricky pin positions. Her aggressive approach to the greens allowed her to capitalize on early momentum, putting her ahead of China’s Yan Liu, who sits in second place after a bogey-free 67.

The chasing pack is crowded with talent, as five players—including Linn Grant and Haeran Ryu—are tied for third at 4-under par. Defending champion Lydia Ko remains firmly in the hunt after a solid 70, while world No. 1 Jeeno Thitikul struggled slightly to find her rhythm, finishing with a 73. Despite the firm conditions, the leaderboard remains tightly packed, setting the scene for a dramatic shift as the field heads into the second round.
