Bae began the day with a bang, birdieing two of her first three holes and sharing a spot atop the individual leaderboard for much of the morning. Following a bogey at No. 8, she played the back side at 5-over.
"I started off really steady," Bae said. "I was 2-under at one point. Coming towards the end, there was a little bit of wind and I struggled a little bit, but I think I put myself in a good position to come back tomorrow."
The field will play a second round at Champions Retreat on Thursday before the competition will be cut to 30 golfers. After all entrants play a practice round at Augusta National on Friday, the top-30 will compete in the final round on Saturday on the same layout that will host the Masters next week.
"I'm going to try to go into tomorrow with no expectations," Bae said. "That's when I normally play the best, when I try to take it hole by hole and try to push myself to be the best I can."
