Malaysia’s Natasha Andrea Oon fired a four-under-par 68 in the opening round of Casino Del Sol Golf Classic, played at Sewailo Golf Club in Tucson, Arizona, to share the lead with Americans Kaitlin Milligan, Sarah White and Gabby Lemieux.

Oon began her campaign in fine fashion with three birdies on the first nine. Despite dropping a shot on the 10th, the 21-year-old bounced back with two more birdies on 14 and 16 to end the round at four-under-par.

Just one shot behind the four joint leaders at three-under-par are Kendra Dalton, Ginger Gould, Sierra Brooks, Gigi Stoll and Daniela lacobelli. 

Meanwhile, another Malaysian in the field, Ashley Lau, signed in a three-over-par 75 to sit at T61.

Oon is currently fifth on the Epson Tour’s money list, following her runner-up finish at last week’s IOA Championship presented by Morongo Casino Resort and Spa.
