LPGA

Nordqvist, Lewis lead Shoprite

GALLOWAY TOWNSHIP, N.J.

Anna Nordqvist and Stacy Lewis know their way around the Donald Ross-designed Bay Course at Stockton Seaview. Nordqvist opened her ShopRite LPGA Classic title defense with a 7-under 64 for a share of the lead with Ai Miyazato and Paula Reto. Lewis, the tournament winner in 2012 and 2014, had a 66. Nordqvist bogeyed Nos. 11 and 12, the second and third holes of her round, then birdied nine of the last 12 holes. The Swede twice made four straight birdies — on Nos. 16-1 and 6-9. Miyazato and Reto were paired together in the afternoon. Haru Nomura, a two-time winner this year, was a stroke back along with Casey Grice and Catriona Matthew. Lewis had five birdies in a bogey-free round to join Beatriz Recari, Jodi Ewart Shadoff, Maude-Aimee Leblanc, Christel Boeljon, Katherine Kirk, Stephanie Meadow and Amelia Lewis at 66. Down to sixth in the world, the 31-year-old Lewis is winless in 49 starts since taking the North Texas LPGA Shootout in June 2014 for her 11th LPGA Tour victory. She tied for second three weeks ago in Alabama, her 10th runner-up finish during the drought and her 23rd overall.

CHAMPIONS TOUR

Inman leads Principal Charity

DES MOINES, IOWA

John Inman shot a 7-under 65 at the Wakonda Club to take a two-stroke lead in the PGA Tour Champions’ Principal Charity Classic. It’s the first time Inman, a two-time winner on the PGA Tour, has led after the opening round on the 50-and-over tour. The milestone round came three days after he won a qualifying event at a nearby course. Tom Lehman was tied for second with Todd Hamilton, Gary Hallberg, Mike Goodes and John Riegger. Miguel Angel Jimenez opened with a 68 in his first start in the event.
