Despite the rain in the Sunshine State, it was Spain’s Nuria Iturrioz who was beaming after day one of the Aramco Team Series in Florida as she held a one-shot lead over Johanna Gustavsson at Trump International, West Palm Beach.

There are still 39 players to complete their first round after a storm interrupted play in the afternoon in Miami, and Iturrioz is the one to catch.

She finished her round with an eagle, birdie finish to take her to five-under, ahead of Gustavsson, who still has five holes to play in Round 1.

“The environment with Pauline [Roussin] and the team was very nice,” Iturrioz, a three-time Ladies European Tour (LET) winner, said. “I loved it. I played with her in Singapore, so good memories. I’m trying to do the same as her.”

The 27-year-old is referring to her teammate’s success winning the first Aramco Team Series event in Singapore earlier this year. Roussin won the individual event in Singapore, at just 22-years-old, by four shots over Danielle Kang and two-time major winner Lydia Ko. This week the duo teamed up alongside Englishwoman Trish Johnson and amateur Michael Bickford, and produced a dominant round one to take a three-shot lead over Team Ko and Team Alexander.

Among the big names lurking are Alison Lee, who is three back in a tie for fifth, while world No. 7 Thompson carded a one-under-par 71 to sit in a tie for eighth.

“Overall, a very good day,” said Thompson. “Pretty steady one. We had beautiful weather teeing off at 7.27am, we didn’t have too much wind, thankfully, and kind of beat the heat,” the major winner said after the round, “But overall had a very steady day and enjoyed playing alongside my teammates.”
