Rookie Iwai Leads By Two Strokes At Canadian Women's Open
World Amateur Golf Rankings: Four days after capturing her maiden LPGA Tour title at the Portland Classic, Japanese rookie Akie Iwai picked up where she left off on Thursday, carding a seven-under 64 to take a two-stroke lead in the opening round of the Canadian Women's Open.
The 23-year-old was flawless in opening with a bogey-free round at Mississauga Golf and Country Club, a course located 26 kilometres west of downtown Toronto.
Aphrodite Deng Tiexin, a 15-year-old Chinese-Canadian ranked 22nd in the World Amateur Golf Rankings, shot five-under 66 to sit equal second with American Megan Khang, Mexican Gaby Lopez, Ireland's Leona Maguire and Thai Jeeno Thitikul, who ended Nelly Korda's 71-week run at the top of the world rankings earlier this month, reports Xinhua.
