Anderson and Changkija Share Lead in Portland

(Reuters) - Amy Anderson and Sandra Changkija both fired seven-under-par 65s to grab the first-round lead on Thursday at the Cambia Portland Classic.

They hold a one shot edge over Alison Lee, Julieta Granada and Canadian teenager Brooke Henderson.

Changkija enjoyed good vibes at the Columbia Edgewater Country Club where she enjoyed a career-best ninth-place finish in 2013.

"I like (the course) a lot. I hit some really good drivers out there (and) the putts started going in," Changkija told reporters.

Anderson, who enjoyed a strong college career that included a record 20 tournament wins, finished a season best eighth in her last event.
