Maguire Leads Evian as Hull Withdraws After Collapse

Leona Maguire fired her first LPGA Tour hole-in-one on the par-3 second hole and carded a six-under 65 to share the opening-round lead at the Amundi Evian Championship with Andrea Lee, Jennifer Kupcho, Grace Kim, and Gabriela Ruffels. Her round included five birdies and only one bogey, benefiting from a refreshed mindset and a rare pro-am break. Maguire's ace, made with an 8-iron from 164 yards, was a highlight in a strong, stress-free round. Minjee Lee sits just one shot behind the leaders, with world No. 1 Nelly Korda also in contention. The tournament's first day was marked by the withdrawal of England's Charley Hull, who collapsed due to a virus but was cleared of serious health concerns after medical evaluation. The event remains highly competitive as top players vie for the major title.
