Mizuno staffers Jiyai Shin (-8) and Stacy Lewis (-4) both had good opening rounds but all the headlines (and surely not for the last time) are going to Lydia Ko (remember that name). 15 years old and leading after a 10 under 63.....while paired with Yani Tseng (-5) and Michelle Wie (+1)!!! Is this Korean born New Zealander the hottest prospect in golf right now?
Last year she became the youngest golfer to win on any major tour with the LPGA Canadian Open

As far as the race for the #1 spot goes, Stacy is currently 1 behind Tseng and it doesn't look like (2nd in rankings) Na Yeon Choi is playing this week.
