Swedish Major winner is on track to meet her goal to 'beat just one man'. FMTNews PernillaLindberg

Sweden’s Pernilla Lindberg during the opening round of the New Zealand Golf Open.

Lindberg, who won her first major at the 2018 ANA Inspiration, shot a nine-over par 80 in strong winds in the Asian Tour events at the Millbrook Resort course in Queenstown and finished the first round in a two-way tie for 152nd in the 156-player field. Talented youngster Kim, 17, who became the second-youngest winner on the Asian Tour at the Panasonic Open in India last year, shot a classy seven-under par 64 at Millbrook to top the first-day leaderboard.

The pre-tournament favourite, New Zealand’s world No 125 Ryan Fox, was tied 17th at two-under par after making the long journey to his home open from last week’s WGC-Mexico Championship where he finished tied 29th behind winner Patrick Reed.
