Lewis leads at the Reignwood LPGA Classic

  • Intro:

    World number one Stacy Lewis took a one shot lead over Caroline Hedwall following the opening round of the Reignwood LPGA Classic on Thursday after carding a seven under par round of 66 in Beijing.

    Script:

    With a shift in the weather expected in Beijing, many players made the most of the conditions at the Reignwood Pine Valley Golf Club on Thursday.

    Defending champion Shanshan Feng struggled on the opening day though - the Chinese unable to capitalise after birdieing the first and finishing with a two over par 75.

    Norway's Suzann Pettersen had a curious round, despite making six birdies, she had three bogeys and two double bogeys, limping to a one over par round of 74.

    Inbee Park made the most of the conditions however, putting herself in contention with an excellent round of 69 and a share of fifth.

    Yani Tseng also carded a 69 - five birdies following a bogey at the first to put the Taiwanese player in a strong position.

    Belen Mozo looked in good touch in and around the greens - a par saving putt at the fifth helping the Spaniard on her way to four under.

    A trio of Korean players - Haeji Kang, Jenny Shin and Sun Young Yoo - are in a tie for third on five under par, whilst Sweden's Caroline Hedwall is on her own in second place following a round of 67.

    Out in front following the first round though is world number one Stacy Lewis.

    The American was in sparkling form on Thursday, she carded seven birdies and didn't dropped a single shot all day.

    Lewis is looking to make amends for her second placed finish last year - where she led Shanshan Feng heading up the eighteenth hole on the final day.
