Grand Rapids (United States) (AFP) - Former Women's British Open runner-up Katherine Kirk got off to an electrifying start to fire a seven-under 64 for a share of the lead after the first round of the Meijer Classic.

The 33-year-old Aussie is tied with Americans Dori Carter and Lizette Salas as all three took advantage of the calmer conditions that greeted the morning starters to post low scores at the Blythefield Country Club course in the US state of Michigan.
