England's Charley Hull dropped four strokes in the final three holes to end day one at level par.

Chun, 22, told the Ladies European Tour: "Before the round I felt really nervous today and it was windy and there was a thunderstorm this morning, so I tried to focus more on my game.
"I could see the putting lines very well and I was so good rolling the ball on those lines."
