The first round of the Volunteers of America North Texas Shootout ended Thursday with three players tied for the lead, two of whom have a lot of experience on this tour. Cristie Kerr, Juli Inkster and Sydnee Michaels all posted an opening round of 5-under 66 at Las Colinas Country Club in Irving, Texas.
The 54-year-old Inkster also shared the first-round lead last week in California and ended up tying for 15th. She won the last of her 31 tour titles in 2006.
“Hopefully, I can build on this,” Inkster said. “I’m not really looking forward to winning.
