Mao Saigo leads the Maybank Championship, Céline Boutier 11th after the first round

Mao Saigo is the leader

Just like Boutier, Mao Saigo came close to a victory this season on the LPGA in Asia. The Japanese finished second behind Ruoning Yin at the Buick LPGA Shanghai. This time, at the end of the first round of the Maybank Championship in Kuala Lumpur, Saigo occupies first place. His only bogey of the day conceded at the penultimate hole tarnishes a nice card of 63 (-9).
