CLIFTON, N.J.(AP) Helen Alfredsson of Sweden shot a career-best, 10-under 62 and took a two-stroke lead over Brittany Lincicome after the opening round of the LPGA Sybase Classic.
Alfredsson's round Thursday was the lowest on tour this year, and it left three-time defending champion Lorena Ochoa nine shots out of the lead at the Upper Montclair Country Club.
Suzann Pettersen of Norway was three shots behind Alfredsson and a shot ahead of Ji Young Oh of South Korea after the round on a cold, damp day punctuated by an intermittent drizzle and a chilling breeze.
Karrie Webb, Michelle Wie, Natalie Gulbis and Paula Creamer were all at 2-under.
