Angela Stanford shot an opening round 62 to take a three shot lead over Lorena Ochoa after the first round of the Safeway International presented by Coca-Cola.
Stanford birdied six of the first nine holes. She cooled a bit on the back, only making four birdies including the final two holes. Her bogey-free day put her at 10-under for the tournament and in control from the start.
Right on her heels, Ochoa tried her best to keep up with Stanford. She started with birdies on the first two holes, totaling five on the front nine. Two bogeys on the back slowed her round as she carded a 65.
Sherri Steinhauer sits in sole possession of third before a group of four golfers are tied at five-under par. Paula Creamer sits in a tie for 11th after shooting three-under 69. Also shooting three-under are Annika Sorenstam, Jeong Jang and Christina Kim.
