WEST LINN: Returning to the United States after playing in Europe, Indian golfer
Aditi Ashok endured a tough start as she carded a disappointing five-over 77 in the first round of the Cambia
Portland Classic
.
She will need a solid second round to make the cut.
Aditi had two double bogeys and two bogeys against just one birdie as she tried to adjust to the conditions on the other side of the Atlantic.
Three players led after the first round.
Fresh off playing for the victorious European team at the Solheim Cup two weeks ago, Spain's
Carlota Ciganda
shot an opening-round 68 to join
Pajaree Anannarukarn
and
Gemma Dryburgh
for the lead at Oregon
Golf
Club.
Six players are tied for fourth at three-under, including Rolex Rankings No. 2
Jin Young Ko
, who is playing for the first time since representing Korea at the Olympics in August.
Two-time Cambia Portland Classic winner
Brooke Henderson
is one of five players tied for 10th at two-under, a group that includes 57-year-old Laura Davies.
