ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) Gaby Lopez of Mexico began a new year and her seventh LPGA Tour season with a simple, and potentially prophetic, Instagram post: "Surprise me, 2022," she wrote. Lopez jumped out to the lead Thursday in the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions, piecing together what she considered a near-perfect opening round to the new season. She made six birdies in a 5-under 67 at Lake Nona Golf and Country Club. Lopez led by one shot over a foursome of players at 68 that included three major champions: world No. 1 Nelly Korda, who won her first major last year in the KPMG Women's PGA; Danielle Kang, the 2017 Women's PGA champion; and U.S. Open champion Yuka Saso, who bogeyed her final hole. |
