June 9 (Reuters) - Canadian teenager Brooke Henderson recorded her first ever ace on the LPGA Tour as she charged into a two-stroke lead with a four-under-par 67 in the opening round of the KPMG Women's PGA Championship in Washington on Thursday.
The 18-year-old struck a seven-iron from 152 yards at the par-three 13th, her fourth hole of the day at Sahalee Country Club in Sammamish, and then watched in delight as her ball disappeared into the cup.
"I pulled my shot a little but it caught the left apron and funneled right in," Henderson told reporters after ending the day two ahead of American Christina Kim and South Korean Kim In-kyung in the second women's major of the year.
