Minjee Lee has enhanced her chances of featuring in the LPGA Tour's prestigious season-ending championship with a promising start to The Annika in Florida.
Lee opened with a four-under-par 66 to be sitting in a six-way tie for fifth, two shots off the pace at Pelican Golf Club in Belleair.
Australia's dual major winner and one-time world No.2 is languishing, uncharacteristically, in 56th spot in the season-long point standings.
