Linnea Johansson ranks 358th in the world, but the Swede’s opening 7-under 64 puts her atop the leaderboard early at the JM Eagle LA Championship. Johansson hit all 14 fairways, 15 greens and took 26 putts in her fifth round on tour this season. It marks the first time she’s broken par.
“I’ve been working a lot on my swing and trying to get a little bit more consistent ball flight, and I think that was very helpful today because I was able to attack a little bit more of the pins out there and give myself chances,” said Johansson of her bogey-free day. “The greens can be tricky, a lot going on, but I managed to read them and match the speed today, and they dropped for me.”
