Juli Inkster shares lead in The Legends Championship (The Associated Press)

FRENCH LICK, Ind. (AP) -- Defending champion Juli Inkster shot a 4-under 68 on Saturday for a share of the first-round lead in The Legends Championship with Becky Iverson and Trish Johnson.

After losing a ball and making a bogey on the 14th, the 56-year-old Inkster made an 18-foot birdie putt on the 15th and a 4-footer on 18.

''I made a good bogey there, and that was key,'' the Hall of Famer said. ''It kept my round together.''

Teeing off on both Nos. 1 and 10, the players were able to finish before an afternoon storm hit the Pete Dye Course at French Lick Resort.
