CHOI Na-yeon shot a 6-under 66 to take a one-stroke lead over Morgan Pressel and Karrie Webb after the first round of the US LPGA Tour's season-ending Titleholders on Thursday.
Choi, the Malaysia winner last month, birdied five of the first eight holes on the back nine at Grand Cypress before dropping a stroke with a bogey on the par-4 18th.
"I think from after the British Open, I had a great feeling about my game," Choi said.
"After that, I played consistently and then especially at Mizuno I had a great final round. I shot 8-under par. And then I think I took something from Mizuno to here."
Defending champion Maria Hjorth and Cristie Kerr shot 68, and Anna Nordqvist was another stroke back along with Paula Creamer, Sandra Gal, Kim Mi-hyun, Candie Kung, Azahara Munoz and Dewi Claire Schreefel.
Top-ranked Tseng Yani had a 70, and Michelle Wie opened with a 71.
Pressel is winless on the tour since the 2008 Kapalua LPGA Classic.
Webb has struggled after winning the HSBC Women's Champions in Singapore in February and the Founders Cup in Phoenix in March in consecutive starts.
She has made swing changes with coach Ian Triggs.
