England & Jodi Ewart Shadoff is one took the lead after round one of the first events of the LPGA Tour since the suspension due to coronavirus.

Ewart Shadoff shot a bogey-free five under-par 67 at Inverness Club in Ohio and follows American Danielle King on the 54-hole LPGA Drive Championship.

"Inverness is so hard. You have to be very precise from the tee and the greens are small," said Ewart Shadoff.

"I hit 15 greens (in regulation), which is key here, so I'm happy."

England's Charlotte Thomas and Gemma Dryburgh of Scotland both shot one-over-par rounds of 73.
