Jasmine Suwannapura's performance at the 2023 LPGA Maybank Championship

Following the first round of the 2023 LPGA Maybank, Jasmine Suwannapura topped the leaderboard. She played a bogey-free round of 63 after carding seven birdies and one eagle.

The Thai golfer started the game with a birdie on the first hole and carded three birdies on the first five alternative holes. She added another birdie on the ninth and three birdies and one eagle on the back nine to score 63.

Suwannapura will start the second round of the tournament on Thursday, October 26, one stroke ahead of Hannah Green.

The 30-year-old golfer opened up about her game while talking to the media. She said (via ESPN):

"Starting the first couple of holes, I tried to play kind of little safe ... because I only played six holes for the practice round and got to walk on the back nine on pro-am day on the cart path, so I don't really know the course. I feel like with low expectation today then the result come out really good. A lot of putts dropped for me, and it's good feeling to start with a low score this week for sure."

The 2023 LPGA Maybank Championship will have its finale on Saturday, October 29.
