The first round of the 2021 Evian Masters is now in the books, and we have a two-way tie for the lead. Pajaree Anannarukarn of Thailand, and Yealimi Noh of the United States are both at -6 in the fourth women’s golf major of 2021.

Anannarukarn had six birdies and zero bogeys in round one. She birdied the third, eighth, ninth, 14th, 16th, and 18th holes. Noh meanwhile had five birdies, one eagle, and one bogey. She eagled the first hole, birdied the sixth, seventh, 14th, 15th, and 18th holes, and bogeyed the fourth hole. Noh’s eagle was an approach shot from 126 yards that went into the cup.
