Kiwi golfer Lydia Ko is currently off the pace, after an eventful opening round at the BMW Ladies Championship in South Korea on Thursday.
Ko has fired a one-over 73 to sit in a nine-way tie for 64th at the International Busan Course in South Korea. She's nine shots behind local Na Rin An, who holds the outright lead at eight-under.
The 24-year-old made an encouraging start to card a one-under through her first eight holes, before a triple bogey on the par-five ninth saw her plummet down the leaderboard.
After a bogey on the 11th, she fought back with a birdie on the following hole.
At the 16th hole, the former world No. 1 played her best shot of the day to come within a few feet of the cup off the tee - agonisingly close to winning the BMW on offer for a hole-in-one but tapping home for birdie.
The rollercoaster continued for Ko through the final two holes, finishing with a bogey and a birdie to close out her day.
