AYRSHIRE, Scotland — LPGA Tour rookie Hye-Jin Choi shot an 8-under 64 to take a one-shot lead at the Scottish Open on a day of low scoring on the Dundonald Links course. Choi had seven birdies, one eagle and a bogey to tie her career-low round on the LPGA Tour. Three players were tied for second with opening 65s. Lydia Ko went bogey-free for the 11th time this season in her fifth appearance at the Scottish Open, which leads into the LPGA Tour's final major of the season next week — the Women's British Open at Muirfield. Celine Boutier and Lilia Vu also shot 65.
