Defending champion, Jeong Jang shot +6 in the first round.
Sophie Gustafson, who was 2nd in the 2005 British Open shot +4.
Not good first rounds for the 2005 contenders.

- Natalie Guilbis went around in even par.
- Paula Creamer -1 after 6 holes.
- Christie Kerr -1 after the 1st round. True to her form, she got a triple bogey, 3 bogeys, 5 birdies and an eagle. Interesting.
- Ai Miyazato also had a -1 round.
- Annika Sorenstam -3 after 7. If she continues like that, it may not be a very interesting tournament.
- Juli Inkster -5 after 8. Wow. Actually it might be an interesting tournament.
