Alexander, the winner of the 2023 Jabra Ladies Classic, bettered the previous women’s course record of 66 and took the lead in this tournament on nine under par overall.
After making the turn in three-under, Alexander rolled in a birdie on the 10th, followed by an eagle on the 13th, and then further birdies on the 14th and 16th holes for an impressive round.
“It was pretty slow because I just made a few birdies here and there, and then when I made the eagle things started to change a little.”
