Kim, Shin tied for Samsung lead at Torrey Pines

September 18, 2009

SAN DIEGO (AP)—They’d all watched on TV as Tiger Woods claimed his epic win inthe U.S. Open last year. Starting Thursday, 20 elite LPGA golfers got their turnto try to tame Torrey Pines.

Not only did they recognize the place, but they had an easier go of it inthe opening round of the Samsung World Championship. There were favorable pinplacements, the wind stayed down on the blufftop municipal course overlookingthe Pacific Ocean and, of course, there was less yardage to play on the normallytough South Course.

Song-Hee Kim and Jiyai Shin of South Korea each shot a 6-under 66 to sharethe lead.

Kim was the runner-up in this tournament last year, losing by one stroke toPaula Creamer at Half Moon Bay in Northern California. Kim started strong, withfive birdies in her first eight holes on the South Course. Shin, coming off hertour-leading third victory of the year at the NW Arkansas Championship, had fourbirdies on the back nine.

Top-ranked Lorena Ochoa of Mexico and Sophie Gustafson of Sweden were onestroke behind the leaders on a perfect, calm day.

Shin even had a Tiger moment on the par-5, 480-yard 18th. She said shecouldn’t reach the green in two shots during two practice rounds, but the pinwas moved forward 18 yards on Thursday and she reached in two, then two-puttedfor birdie.

“So last year Tiger won, I watched on the TV, and then he made a greatbirdie,” she said, recalling the hole where Woods made a 12-foot birdie on thefinal hole to force an 18-hole playoff with Rocco Mediate, then made a 4-footbirdie in the playoff the next day to force sudden death.

Kim said she had an “easy birdie. So I was really surprised. It’s an easy18 holes.”

Gustafson had an eagle, five birdies and two bogeys.

“Well, I certainly recognize most of the holes, for example the seventh,”she said. “That’s where they finished the U.S. Open, and they must have been,you know, way back.”

Eleven players were under par and three were even. The main reasons were thelack of wind and pin placements, Ochoa said.

“It’s set up for a low day. I’m just glad I took advantage of that and I amright there where I should be,” Ochoa said. “You never know, tomorrow the windgets a little more and the combination with tough pin placements, maybe even paris a great round.”

Yardage was listed at 6,721, but some holes were shortened, particularlysome of the par-5s.

By comparison, the U.S. Open scorecard read 7,643 yards, but the courseactually played between 7,400 and 7,500 yards because the tee boxes wereswitched up every day.

“I think we all watched the U.S. Open, and we hear so many good thingsabout this course,” Ochoa said. “For all of us it was a new place. So I guessthat’s fair and even for everybody.”

Ai Miyazato of Japan, tees off… AP – Sep 17, 8:18 pm EDT

This is the LPGA Tour’s first stop in San Diego since 1993 and the first atTorrey Pines since the 1983 Inamori Classic.

Ai Miyazato of Japan and Juli Inkster were tied for fifth at 68. Inkster, athree-time winner, received an exemption.

Creamer was seventh with a 3-under 69. She’s still looking for her first winof the season after battling a mystery illness. She said she got sick aftergoing to Mexico in November for the Lorena Ochoa Invitational, and that doctorsweren’t able to figure out what was wrong.

Ochoa, playing with Creamer, bogeyed the par-4 No. 1 after driving into abunker, then picked up the pace with birdies on four of the last five holes onthe front nine.

Kim, Shin tied for Samsung lead at Torrey Pines
