Elizabeth Szokol birdied the first five holes and shot an 8-under 62 on Friday for a share of the first-round lead with Ilhee Lee in the ShopRite LPGA Classic.

Nelly Korda finished just two strokes behind Maja Stark, who won the prestigious 2025 U.S. Women's Open. Both Korda and Stark hail from the Epson Tour, which is a precursor to the LPGA Tour.
