Marina Alex carded a bogey-free, 4–under 68 to take the lead after one round of the inaugural FM Championship on Thursday at TPC Boston in Norton, Mass.
After she started her round on the back nine, Alex’s final birdie came at the par-5 seventh hole, breaking her out of a nine-way tie at 3 under. She finished her day with two pars to maintain that one-stroke edge at a course that formerly hosted PGA Tour events.
