Saso unleashes solid 67 in Cognizant Founders CupMANILA, Philippines – Yuka Saso played true to form and dished out one of her best starts on the LPGA Tour — a 67 — but Jin Young Ko proved better as she doubled the former’s four-under card with a scorching 63 to seize control in the opener of the Cognizant Founders Cup in New Jersey Thursday (Friday, Manila time). “I got nine birdies today and one bogey, but yeah, still pretty good.”Saso also did turn in a fine start — four birdies on an impressive 13-of-14 driving norm while missing just three greens. But a struggle on the tricky surface led to 31 putts that practically stymied her first round charge. “I think I played pretty good today,” said Korda, who like Saso groped a bit on the greens, also needing 31 putts after hitting all but one green. 7 and bucked a missed chance on the par-5 next with another birdie on No.
