The 20-year-old Saso had a slow start with three bogeys but birdies in the 7th, 10th, and 11th got her back on track.
Saso bogeyed the 16th but immediately made up for it with a birdie on the 17th in the tournament offering a $1.5 million purse.
Coming off a joint ninth-place finish in the Tokyo Olympics, Saso is in a share of fifth in Scotland with Jeongeun Lee6, Lydia Hall, Kelsey MacDonald, Ryan O’Toole, and Sarah Schmelzel.
