KAPOLEI, Hawaii—Beth Bader shot a 4-under 68 on Wednesday at windy Ko Olina
to take a one-stroke lead over top-ranked Yani Tseng and three other players in
the LPGA LOTTE Championship. Ben
Tate Jersey . Winless on the LPGA Tour, the 38-year-old Bader
birdied Nos. 5, 6 and 7 to reach 5 under, but dropped a stroke on the par-4
ninth—her final hole—with her lone bogey of the round played in 30-mph
gusts. “It feels good,” said the 401st-ranked Bader, making her first start of
the year. “Been awhile since Ive been here. Been awhile since I actually teed it
up in an event. But its good. “I practised hard. I played some Grasshopper Tour
events in Phoenix to get ready and keep going. So it was nice to be able to
transition back into target golf, because I havent done that for a while. So, Im
very pleased.” Tseng, the Taiwanese star who has won three of the first six
events this year, was second along with HSBC Womens Champions winner Angela
Stanford, Jiyai Shin and Brittany Lang. “Overall, I stay patient and I make lots
of good putts,” Tseng said. “I still miss some, but I hung in there. Its only
first day of the tournament, so Im pretty happy today. Still on the leaderboard,
still can see my name up there, so very happy.” Tseng played the front nine in
4-under 32, then bogeyed the first two holes on the back. “I hit it in the water
on No. 10, so made bogey there,” Tseng said. “I made another bogey on No. 11
hole, kind of a short hole. ... On No. 12, I made a tough 12-footer for par. I
think thats the big turning point for today. If I make another bogey, I dont
know whats going to happen. But I save par there and make birdie the next hole,
so its a good turn for me.” Stanford also bogeyed her final hole. The Texan won
the last LPGA Tour event played in Hawaii, overtaking Michelle Wie in the 2009
SBS Open at Turtle Bay. “Flying over, all those positive memories came flooding
a back,” Stanford said. “I love Hawaii. I love being here. I love just the
atmosphere, the people. It is always windy, usually, so Im just comfortable.”
Lang, also from Texas, had only 24 putts. “That wind is crazy,” Lang said. “I
hit the ball fantastic. When you hit pure, solid shots the wind does not affect
it as much. I hit the ball really solid and gave myself a lot of chances and I
putted really well with my new putter.” Sun Young Yoo, coming off a playoff
victory over I.K. Kim on April 1 in the Kraft Nabisco, was two stroke back at 70
along with Suzann Pettersen, Brittany Lincicome, Cristie Kerr, Elisa Serrama and
Inbee Park. Kim, devastated by a missed one-foot putt on the final hole of
regulation in the Kraft Nabisco, shot a 71. Rebecca Lee-Bentham of Richmond
Hill, Ont., Charlottetowns Lorie Kane and Hamiltons Alena Sharp were all at
1-over 73. Maude-Aimee LeBlanc of Sherbrooke, Que., and Samantha Richdale of
Kelowna, B.C., were at 2-over 74 and Jessica Shepley of Oakville, Ont., was at
3-over 75. Stephanie Sherlock of Barrie, Ont., struggled to an opening round of
8-over 80. Wie had two early double bogeys in a 78 that left her 10 strokes
back. She has missed the cuts in her last two starts. The tournament will end
Saturday so it can be broadcast Sunday morning in Asia and Saturday night in
prime time on the East Coast. Andre Johnson Elite Jersey . However, a trip
