A Lim Kim of South Korea is the leader after 36 holes of the 2023 Chevron Championship. The 2020 United States Women’s Open champion is at -8. This is the first time that the Chevron Championship is taking place in Texas. It had taken place in California since 1983, when it was first declared a major championship.

On Thursday in round one, Kim had three birdies, one eagle and four bogeys.

Two strokes back at -6 are three major champions–Brooke Henderson of Canada, Patty Tavatanakit of Thailand, and Nelly Korda of the United States. Henderson won the 2016 Women’s PGA Championship and the 2022 Evian Championship. Tavatanakit won the 2021 ANA Inspiration and Korda won the 2021 Women’s PGA Championship.
