Charley Hull, fresh off her first victory in more than two years, didn't lose her form from Saudi Arabia to Florida in opening with a 6-under 64 on Thursday to share the lead with Jiwon Jeon after the first round of The Annika.

Nelly Korda hasn't lost much from being out of competition for nearly two months. The No. 1 player in the women's world ranking had four birdies over her last five holes to salvage a 66.

Hull won two weeks ago in the Aramco Team Series-Riyadh, a 54-hole tournament on the Ladies European Tour. It was her first title since winning in Texas on the LPGA Tour in 2022.

"I feel like I've been playing very, very well all year," Hull said. "Sometimes you just forget how to win. So that's kind of reminded me how to win."

It was a great start for Jeon, particularly her hole-in-one on the par-3 third hole at Pelican Golf Club. She also had six birdies to offset a pair of bogeys.
