Los Angeles—In the opening round of the LPGA DIO Implant L.A. Open, southern California native Alison Lee overcame the difficult afternoon conditions to take the lead with a bogey-free round of 66, five-under, at Wilshire Country Club in the heart of Los Angeles.

Being one of seven in the field that played college golf at nearby UCLA, Lee explained her advantage at this event as “more than (just) the golf course, being in LA again and being able to see my friends and family. It’s just been awesome and I just feel so comfortable and at home.”
