Nov 12 (Reuters) - Park In-bee put down her golf clubs for eight days after withdrawing from her last start due to a cyst in her finger but showed no ill effects as she took the opening-round lead at the Lorena Ochoa Invitational on Thursday.
The South Korean world number two fired a four-under-par 68 at Club de Golf Mexico in Mexico City for a one-shot lead over Suzann Pettersen of Norway, Minjee Lee of Australia and American Angela Stanford, the 2008 winner.
Park, who had the cyst on her middle finger drained, made up for lost time with five birdies in her first eight holes.
