Somi Lee, the No. 101 ranked player in the world, leads the PIF Saudi Ladies International against a stacked field on the Ladies European Tour.
The 26-year-old from Korea holds a one-stroke lead over Annabell Fuller and Olympic Silver Medalist Esther Henseleit after a -7 65 at Riyadh Golf Club.
Lee had eight birdies with a lone bogey and posted the score early. Lee had a solid season on the LPGA Tour in 2024, posting six top-20 finishes and one top five at the Portland Classic.
Chasing her down is a group that includes some of the biggest stars in the world, including the No. 4 player in the world Jeeno Thitikul, who is two strokes back of the lead.
Other players in the field include Ruoning Yin, Charley Hull, Patty Tavatanakit, Ariya Jutanugarn, Georgia Hall, Linn Grant and Nataliya Guseva.
