Inkster shoots 65 to take early lead
Juli Inkster has early lead at Womens British Open
Juli Inkster made an eagle and five birdies in a bogey-free 65 to take the early clubhouse lead at the Women's British Open on Thursday, while Annika Sorenstam had a miserable start to her final major.
Inkster, at age 48 trying to become the oldest winner of a major, was one of the earliest players out on the Sunningdale course and raced to the turn in 4-under 32, helped by an eagle 2 at the ninth.
By the time she walked off the 18th at 7-under, Inkster was the clear leader, one shot ahead of England's Rebecca Hudson, who had played 15, and Japanese players Yuri Fudoh and Momoko Ueda, who had played 16. Defending champion Lorena Ochoa was 4-under after dropping a shot at the 16th.
