Women's Trans-National: August Kim starts hot
ELGIN, S.C. (July 29, 2014) -- Purdue's August Kim leads the Trans-National Amateur after Tuesday's first round of play.

Kim posted a three-under 68, which included five birdies and two bogeys, and leads Eunice Yi by a stroke.

Yi holds solo second after a two-under 69. Her round was quite unique, as she birdied the first hole, parred the next 16, and closed with birdie on 18 to card the bogey-free 69.

Only six of the 91 competitors shot even or better on Tuesday, as the Members Club at Woodcreek bared its teeth and separated the strong from the weak.

2013 champion Hannah Suh did not return to defend her title.

ABOUT THE LNGA Amateur

The inaugural event, held in 1927 at Blue Hills Country Club in Kansas City, Mo. set off decades of successful tournament across the United States, conducted by an organization then named the Missouri Valley Women's Golf Association. A year later, the name became the Women's Trans-Mississippi Golf Association, evolving into the Women's Trans National Golf Association by 1953 to include all states before changing to the Ladies National Golf Association in 2019. This 54-hole stroke play event spans the nation and has been hosted at some of the country finest courses, including Persimmon Ridge in Kentucky, Stonewall Links in Pennsylvania, and Eugene Country Club in Oregon.
