Formerly known as "Yupaporn," Pakin Kawinpakorn showcased a stellar start to her round, firing three consecutive birdies from hole No. 10. She continued her impressive performance by adding another birdie on No. 14 and then carded three more birdies after the turn at the par 72 6,312-yard landscape.

"I played unbelievably well today without a single bogey," exclaimed the 32-year-old player, who had not had the opportunity to practice on the course prior to the tournament. She had recently returned from China just two days ago and admitted to feeling fatigued from playing in consecutive weeks. Despite this, she approached the round without any expectations and simply aimed to enjoy herself, which she successfully achieved.

"The reason I was able to achieve low scores is because of my precise chipping, consistently placing the ball within a tight range of 3-4 feet from the pins. Even when I missed the fairway or found myself in a bunker, I managed to recover and save pars. It's been a long time since I played this well," explained Pakin, who finished 16th in a recent China LPGA event.

"I've been performing consistently throughout the year. Even on my off days, I still managed to shoot even par or under par. As for my game plan in the second round, I'll maintain the same approach of not expecting anything specific and enjoying myself regardless of the outcome," Pakin added confidently.

In an impressive display just one shot behind Pakin, teenage Chanokmanee Charoenpattanasatit demonstrated her skills by scoring seven birdies, with only a single bogey on the 15th hole.

"My driver and iron shots were on point today. I managed to secure seven birdies during the round. The highlight of my day was on the 17th hole, where I chipped in for a birdie from the fringe of the green," shared the talented 19-year-old.

Looking ahead to the next round, Chanokmanee outlined her game plan, stating, "Tomorrow, my focus will be on hitting the fairways and aiming for a high percentage of greens in regulation. I'm excited to see how it all unfolds."

Punsanisa Ekkantrong, an amateur, and Budsabakorn Sukapan, a two-time Thai LPGA Tour winner, both carded impressive rounds of 68, placing them three shots behind the leader.
