Cheyenne Woods seizes share of Manulife LPGA Classic lead, Cheyenne Woods, Cristie Kerr and P.K. Kongkraphan coordinated the course record at 9-under 63 on Thursday to share the first-round lead in the Manulife LPGA Classic.

The 37-year-old Kerr had 10 birdies and a miss, playing her opening nine in 7-under 29. She won the Kia Classic in California in March for her 17th LPGA Tour title.
Kongkraphan, from Thailand, also had 10 birdies and a miss.
Israel's Laetitia Beck and Germany's Sandra Gal were a stroke back.
Sweden's Anna Nordqvist, the winner Sunday in New Jersey in the ShopRite LPGA Classic, finished the gathering at 65 alongside South Korea's Sei Young Kim, a two-time winner this season.
Second-positioned Inbee Park, the winner last year at Gray Silo, opened with a 69. Third-positioned Stacy Lewis had a 70, and top-positioned Lydia Ko shot 71.
Brooke Henderson, the 17-year-old Canadian who was third in the Swinging Skirts in April in California, had a 71. Sister Brittany Henderson opened with a 72.
