Six weeks after earning her initial LPGA victory, Akie Iwai sits in first place after the opening round of the Lotte Championship in Ewa Beach, Hawaii. Jessica Porvasnik and South Koreans Youmin Hwang and Sung Hyun Park are tied for eighth place at 67. She added two more birdies on either side of the turn, then birdied four out of five from No. “Everything felt good, so my driver was all consistent,” said Iwai, who won the Standard Portland Classic in mid-August. “Back side, I (was) hitting great putts, so that’s why I (shot a) low score today,” Hataoka said.
