Ochoa leads Wie by one
Defending champion Lorena Ochoa shot a bogey-free 8-under 65 on Thursday to take a one-stroke lead over Michelle Wie and Na Yeon Choi after the first round of the LPGA Tour’s Corona Championship in Morelia, Mexico.
“It was a good day. There is really not much more to add if you look at the score, I’m very happy because I’m in control,” said Ochoa, the top-ranked Mexican star who also won the 2006 tournament at Tres Marias.
Wie, who started on No. 10, eagled the par-5 fifth and birdied three of her final four holes.
In Avondale, La., Charlie Wi took advantage of soft early morning conditions to shoot a bogey-free 6-under 66 and take the lead after the first round of the PGA Tour’s Zurich Classic.
Wi, one shot ahead of a group of six at 67, was two strokes short of matching the course record at the TPC Louisiana.
