England's Charley Hull made a superb start to the ANNIKA Championship at Pelican Golf Club in Florida.

The 28-year-old put together a very impressive opening round, carding a 64, to sit in first place in the clubhouse at six-under par.

Hull will be looking to build on her first victory in over two years at the Aramco Team Series event in Riyadh earlier this month.

Jiwon Jeon shares the clubhouse lead, as the South Korean targets her first career victory and just a second top-10 finish.

Another South Korean, Mi Hyang Lee went round in 65 and sits a shot behind the leaders, alongside Scot Gemma Dryburgh who is looking to add to her sole win on the LPGA Tour just over two years ago at the Toto Japan Classic.

World No 1 Nelly Korda is making her first appearance in two months at the event, after suffering a neck injury, and finds herself in a cluster of players currently two shots adrift, which includes two-time major winner Minjee Lee and European Solheim Cup veteran Carlota Ciganda.
