Haeran Ryu and Ariya Jutanugarn shake off major doldrums and have solid start on LPGA in Utah

Haeran Ryu and Ariya Jutanugarn started the LPGA Black Desert Championship in Ivins, Utah, with strong, bogey-free opening rounds on May 1, 2025.
They overcame disappointing results from last week's Chevron Championship, which was the inaugural major tournament of the women's golf season held in Houston on April 27, 2025, to get off to a strong start.
Ryu took the lead after the opening round by making nine birdies, striking nearly every fairway and green along the way, while Jutanugarn carded eight birdies without a single bogey on the course near Zion National Park.
Ryu explained that her mindset has remained steady despite the challenging course conditions in both weeks, focusing on maintaining accuracy, while Jutanugarn noted the course demands careful planning of every shot, adding to its difficulty.
The LPGA returned to Utah for the first time since 1964 as Ryu took an early advantage, finishing the opening round one stroke ahead of Ariya Jutanugarn and Wei-Ling Hsu.
