An unexpected name topped the leaderboard on the opening day of the Rejuran Championship, the 2026 season opener of the Korea Ladies Professional Golf Association (KLPGA) Tour with a total purse of 1.2 billion won.

Park Dan-yu, a relatively unknown player who competed in the second-tier Dream Tour last year and missed the cut 19 times in 28 tournaments during the 2024 season, claimed the top spot. However, she is well known as a dominant force in screen golf, having won eight career titles on the Golfzon WG Tour. On the first day of the tournament at Amata Spring Country Club (par 72) in Chonburi, Thailand, Park carded an 8-under-par 64 with nine birdies and one bogey.
