Golfers are not usually doused in champagne after a first round, but 2012 U.S. Womens Open champion Choi Na-yeon could be excused for feeling like she deserved to celebrate in Arizona on Thursday.

Returning to competition after nearly a year out nursing a serious back injury, Choi shot a sparkling seven-under-par 65 in the Founders Cup at Wild Fire Golf Club in Phoenix.

Her body was ailing, but so too was her mind after years of single-minded focus on little else but golf.

I think I was kind of robot, when I was growing up and then playing golf well on LPGA Tour.
