RARE PHOTOS: Happy vibes aussie aces lee ruffels fire at major | Rare Historical Photos

Minjee Lee is at it again, thrusting herself into contention for back-to-back major titles with a fine start to the Evian Championship in France.

Two weeks after claiming the Women's PGA Championship in Texas, Lee opened with a five-under-par 66 to be sitting just one stroke behind a quintet of first-round leaders in outright sixth.

Two of those pacesetters are Lee's fellow Australians Gabriela Ruffels and Grace Kim, who both opened with bogey-free six-under 65s on Thursday to join Ireland's Leona Maguire and American duo Jennifer Kupcho and Andrea Lee atop the leaderboard.
