Golf joined baseball and soccer as sports in South Korea that are back in action.
The women’s KLPGA Championship started with three players — Bae Seon-woo, Kim Char-young2 and Hyun Se-lin — tied at the top of the leaderboard at 5-under 67. Three more players were a shot behind.
The tournament is being played without fans and with players using hand sanitizers and following social-distancing rules. Caddies wore masks and players were allowed to play without them. Defending champion Choi Hye-jin was two strokes back. Like many players, she did not know how to react with no gallery and no applause.
“I birdied the first hole, and I didn’t know how I should celebrate it,” she told South Korean news agency Yonhap. ”I made an eagle and I just kept it to myself.”Third-ranked Park Sung-hyun was six shots behind. No. 6 Kim Sei-young had an even tougher day at the Lakewood Country Club, finishing seven strokes back.
