U.S. teen tied for Evian lead

Thailand’s Pajaree Anannarukarn and 19-year-old American Yealimi Noh posted 6-under 65s to share the first-round lead at the Evian Championship on Thursday in Evian-Les-Bains, France. Noh’s day began perfectly when she carded an eagle on the first hole. Her momentum was checked by a bogey on No. 4 but she birdied holes 6 and 7 and three more on the back nine. The consistent Pajaree had three birdies on the way out and three on the way back to the clubhouse. Former University of Arkansas golfer Maria Fassi shot a 3-under 68. Playing as an amateur, Brooke Matthews (Rogers, Razorbacks) played her opening round at an even par 71.
