PORTLAND: Chun In-Gee, who is seeking her first victory of 2017 after four runner-up finishes, fired a six-under 66 to grab the first-round lead at the LPGA Tour’s Portland Classic on Thursday (Friday in Manila). South Korea’s Chun has a one-shot lead over group of six golfers that includes Canada’s Brooke Henderson and Moriya Jutanu­garn of Thailand. She likes the tree-lined course and says it is not only pleasing to the eye but ideal for her game. Like Chun, Henderson is comfortable hitting shots on the Columbia Edgewater Country Club layout. I love tree-lined courses and it’s so green everywhere you look.
