PITTSFORD, N.Y. -- No matter how hard she tried, Paula Creamer couldnt quite catch Yani Tseng. Neither could anyone else. Tseng, the top-ranked player in the world, shot a 6-under 66 on Thursday to take a one-shot lead over Creamer after the first round of the LPGA Championship. The 22-year-old Tseng, already the youngest player to win three majors, made five birdies on the front nine and three more on the back to go with a pair of bogeys as she began her quest for another major title. "I tried to put it on the fairways as much as I could," said Tseng, who finished second to Stacy Lewis at the Kraft Nabisco Championship in March, the first major of the year. "When you put it on the fairways, you have more chance to make birdies. The second shot I hit it very good." Did she ever. Among her eight birdie putts on what was mostly a sunny, calm day at Locust Hill Country Club, none was longer than the eight-footer she made at No. 15. And although Tseng hit only six of 14 fairways, her strength allowed her to hit solid shots out of the thick rough and she was able to reach 15 of 18 greens in regulation. And she was nearly flawless on the short holes, birdieing all four par 3s on a course that had been softened somewhat by an overnight thunderstorm. Still, she faltered twice when she failed off the tee. She bogeyed the par-4 13th hole after hitting a "terrible drive" and missing a 12-foot putt for par, then pulled her drive at No. 16, another par 4, and missed an eight-foot par putt. "Its hard to put it on (the) fairway. The course is really narrow," Tseng said. "At Kraft, I tried my best. Thats all I can do. Actually, last night I did think a little bit about Kraft. I try not to think too much." Leading Creamer by one shot heading to the 18th tee, Tseng recovered from a bad tee shot that landed in the thick right rough. She hit a nine-iron onto the ridge above the hole, then watched as it rolled down within four feet of the pin and calmly sank the birdie putt. "Im enjoying whats happening right now," said Tseng, who won the State Farm Classic two weeks ago for her second LPGA Tour victory of the season. "The last few weeks just gave me lots of confidence for my putting and my driving, too. So that helps a lot for a major golf course. (It) make me very comfortable." Angela Stanford, Meena Lee, Diana DAlessio and Stacy Prammanasudh were 4 under, and Morgan Pressel, Stacy Lewis, Ryann OToole, Amy Hung, Minea Blomqvist, Jennifer Johnson and Hee Young Park were 3 under. Defending champion Cristie Kerr, who was ailing with a light case of the flu, shot an even-par 72. Charlottetowns Lorie Kane was the top Canadian at 1-over 73. Montreals Lisa Meldrum, Stephanie Sherlock of Oakville, Ont., and Hamiltons Alena Sharp shot 2-over 74. Samantha Richdale of Kelwona, B.C., shot 3-over 75 and Jessica Shepley of Oakville carded 4-over 76. Creamer withdrew from this tournament two years ago -- before it became a major -- with an injury to her left thumb, and last year finished tied for 42nd, never going lower than her first-round 71. She was pumped after a solid first round that matched her best at Locust Hill. "Normally, I shoot myself in the foot after the first day with putting pressure on myself and wanting to do so well," said Creamer, who went out in the morning in a threesome right behind Tseng. "Its nice to be on the other side going into tomorrow. I just need to keep it going and try to make as many birdies as I can." Creamer missed a terrific chance to tie -- or even take the lead -- when she misread a 45-foot eagle putt at the par-5 17th hole and ended up three-putting for par. She then rallied with a birdie at 18, hitting a seven-iron from 150 yards within two feet of the pin. "I gave myself a lot of opportunities. I made a lot of good putts," Creamer said. "I kind of was kicking myself after 17. I had a good birdie chance there, just two putts. But I finished strong, and I feel good about where Im sitting." A year ago, Kerr overpowered Locust Hill. She won by 12 shots, finishing at 19-under 269 to win her second major. That matched the lowest score in relation to par in a womens major and tied for the second-largest in the history of major championships. That was a distant memory on this day. Fighting a mild case of the flu, Kerr never found that magic despite starting birdie, birdie as the gallery roared its approval. Then it stopped. Kerr made bogey at the par-3 fifth hole and had two more at Nos. 10 and 14. "I think thats hard to duplicate. This is a different year -- 6 under is leading. Its not like somebodys shooting 10 under," said Kerr, who began feeling ill on Wednesday night and didnt sleep well. "I felt a little bit uptight today just because I wasnt feeling that great. I was trying maybe to force things a little bit. Ive got to go out and get some rest and get in a good mindset for tomorrow." Still, a birdie at No. 17 and a nice par save at the closing hole put Kerr, second in the world rankings, in a good frame of mind. "I couldnt find the rhythm and hit some really bad shots out there, and it still could have been 2 or 3 under," Kerr said. "So, considering everything, Ill be OK for tomorrow. They (the clutch putts on the final two holes) were pretty big for the mindset going into the next three days. Having shot even the first day is a lot different than shooting 2 over." After an overcast start, the sun broke through in late morning and stayed out most of the day for most of the leaders. A brief shower in late afternoon was followed by a torrential thunderstorm that forced suspension of play for just over two hours with 58 players still on the course, and six players will complete their rounds on Friday morning. DIVOTS: There were eight Americans among the top 13 after the first round, and it wasnt exactly a banner day for four of the top five in the World Golf Rankings. Besides Kerr, third-ranked Suzann Pettersen also shot 72, fourth-ranked Jiyai Shin had a 3-over 75, and No. 5 Na Yeon Choi finished at 1 over. ... Karrie Webb, a two-time winner this year, had a 2-over 74, as did fellow Hall of Famer Juli Inkster. Nike Roshe Run Dame Billig .

Williams withdrawal came less than 24 hours after losing in the final Auckland WTA tournament final. "I dont believe she has an injury," Hobart tournament director Mark Handley said. "I just think that shes played a lot of tough, close matches over in Auckland and in the lead-up to a first Grand Slam (of the season) shes not taking any chances." Williams was planning to use the Hobart event as final preparations for the Australian Open which begins Jan. 13. She lost in the third round at Melbourne Park last year. The 33-year-old Williams lost 6-2 5-7, 6-4, to Ana Ivanovic at Auckland on Saturday. It was Williams first final since winning her 44th career title at Luxembourg in October 2012. The seven-time Grand Slam champions ranking has fallen to 47th as she has battled injuries and Sjogrens syndrome, a fatigue-causing autoimmune disease, over the past two years. Stephens first injured her wrist at the Hopman Cup team event on Friday and said scans might indicate she needed to take week off before the Australian Open. "I was having some pain in my wrist and the doctor recommended I not play this week," the 12th-rranked Stephens said.dddddddddddd Gael Monfils also withdrew Sunday from the Heineken Open ATP event at Auckland, citing fatigue. Monfils lost in the final of the Qatar Open at Doha to Rafael Nadal on Saturday. The Sydney International had its first upset Sunday when American Madison Keys beat seventh-seeded Simona Halep of Romania 6-1, 6-4. Third-seeded Sara Errani beat fellow Italian Roberta Vinci 6-4 6-2 another first-round match. Agnieszka Radwanka of Poland is the No. 1 womens seed at Sydney and former Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova is No. 2, and both have first-round byes. Former No. 1 and sixth-seeded Caroline Woznicacki, playing her first match since becoming engaged to golfer Rory McIlory last week, faces a qualifer in the first round. Juan Martin del Potro is No. 1 seed on the mens side and Jerzy Janowicz of Poland is No. 2, also both with first-round byes. Defending champion Bernard Tomic, who won his first ATP title last year in Sydney before the rest of his season deteriorated into poor results on the court and some controversy off it, plays his first-round match Monday Tomic, with new coach Velimir Zovko, takes on eighth-seeded Marcel Granolliers of Spain. Zovko replaced Tomics father, John, who is serving a one-year suspension from the ATP Tour for assaulting Bernards former hitting partner last May. cheap jerseys wholesale jerseys \' \' \'
