Narin An took the lead in the CME Group Tour Championship with a stellar performance, carding an 8-under 64 in challenging windy conditions. An's hot putter led her to make four consecutive birdies around the turn, securing a one-shot advantage at the end of the first round.
The tournament features a $4 million prize for the winner, marking the largest single-day payoff in women's golf history. Nelly Korda, who has had a remarkable season with seven wins, faces an uphill battle after finishing the opening round with an even-par 72, trailing An by eight shots.
