CME bubble players making moves early at LPGA's BMW Championship

At the LPGA's BMW Championship held at Pine Beach Golf Links in South Korea, Australia's Karis Davidson (ranked 59th on the Race to CME Globe) and Japan's Yuri Yoshida share the first-round lead after both carded 6-under 66s on a cold, windy day. Spain's Julia Lopez Ramirez shot a 67 and shares third place alongside world No. 3 Haeran Ryu, Lauren Coughlin, and Lucy Li. The tournament carries an $11 million purse with a $4 million first-place prize, and securing a spot in the 60-player CME Group Tour Championship field is a key motivation for bubble players competing this week.
