Golf: Kerr, Anderson share lead
Thunderstorms around the Broadmoor course halted play for the day.
COLORADO SPRINGS:
World number two Cristie Kerr and American amateur Amy Anderson shared the lead at two-under par when play was halted in the first round of the storm-hit US Women’s Open. Thunderstorms around the Broadmoor course halted play for the day with only 25 women having completed their opening round over the par-71 layout and 72 players having yet to tee off, including world number one Yani Tseng of Taiwan. Kerr began on the back nine, birdied the par-3 12th but slipped back with a bogey at the par-4 15th. Back-to-back birdies at the par-4 fifth and sixth put her on top before she was stopped on the seventh hole.
