(Reuters) - Cheyenne Woods, niece of 14-times major winner Tiger, upstaged the game's biggest names as she birdied five of her last nine holes to share the first-round lead at the Manulife LPGA Classic in Cambridge, Ontario on Thursday.
The 24-year-old American, playing her first full season on the LPGA Tour, picked up shots at the 10th, 11th, 12th, 16th and 17th to set the early tournament pace with a course record, nine-under-par 63 at Whistle Bear Golf Club.
Late in the day, Cheyenne was caught at the top by seasoned American Cristie Kerr, who signed off with four consecutive birdies, and Thailand's PK Kongkraphan.
