RANCHO MIRAGE:


South Korean Amy Yang fired a six-under 66 to take a one-shot lead over Australian Lindsey Wright after one round of the LPGA Kraft Nabisco Championship.

Breathing down their necks was world number one Yani Tseng of Taiwan, who was third after a first-round 68 in the first major championship of the women’s golf season. Yang, 22, nabbed five birdies in the span of seven holes from the fifth at Mission Hills. She also chipped in for birdie from the fringe at 13. Overall she had eight birdies and two bogeys. Yang has five top-10 finishes in major championships but has not been able to claim an LPGA title. “Everything was working well,” said Yang. “I think my putting was better than other tournaments. “
