GALLOWAY TOWNSHIP, N.J. (AP) Anna Nordqvist knows how to get around Stockton Seaview – and likes the view from atop the ShopRite LPGA Classic leaderboard.
The two-time defending champion shot a 7-under 64 on Friday to take a one-stroke lead after the first-round of the 54-hole event near Atlantic City. She’s trying to join fellow Swede Annika Sorenstam as the only three-time winner.
Moriya Jutanugarn, Jeong Eun Lee, Jenny Shin and Jennifer Song were tied for second, and Paula Creamer, Pornanong Phatlum and In-Kyung Kim followed at 66.
Lydia Ko is skipping the event and will lose her No.
