Australia's Minjee Lee is one shot off the lead in a tie for second after the opening round of the LPGA Tour's Lorena Ochoa Invitational in Mexico.
Lee is three-under-par and tied with Suzann Pettersen and Angela Stadnford who are all trailing leader Korean Inbee Park.
The 19-year-old Lee won at Kingsmill in May for her first LPGA Tour title.
She took last week off after playing the first four events in Asia.
"I think I really needed that week off when I was in Asia," Lee said.
