Japan's Miyu Yamashita opened with a share of the lead in the first round of an LPGA tournament in Japan on Thursday, positioning herself for a potential second consecutive victory.
Yamashita, who won her previous start, carded a strong opening round to sit atop the leaderboard alongside other contenders. The Japanese star will look to maintain her momentum through the remaining rounds as she chases back-to-back titles on home soil.
