Nov 6 (Reuters) - American duo Ryann O'Toole and Angela Stanford grabbed the first round lead at the Toto Japan Classic on Friday, but the final leg of the LPGA's Asian swing proved a step too far for Spaniards Azahara Munoz and Beatriz Recari.
Munoz and Recari were stuck in Bali and missed their tee time after volcanic ash spew caused one of Indonesia's busiest airports to close for two days and cancel almost 700 flights.
Their absence made room in the field for Ayako Uehara, but the Japanese could only muster a two-over-par 74 to sit well off the pace set by the lead American pair who both carded seven-under 65s.
