Masters GC Ladies Friday: Yukari Baba 67, ポーラ・クリーマー 74

Paula Creamer was feeling the jet lag today during the 1st round of the JLPGA's Masters GC Ladies, opening with a 3-bogey-74 that put her 7 shots behind leader Yukari Baba heading into the weekend. Fellow LPGAer Tamie Durdin, who's coming off 2 straight missed cuts on the JLPGA and is fighting to remain in the top 50 on the money list and keep her card for 2011, had better luck, shooting a 6-birdie 69 that brought her within 2 of the lead. Money-list leader Sun-Ju Ahn, going for her 3rd straight win on the JLPGA, dug herself a little hole by opening with a 4-bogey 73, but she's been able to recover from worse starts this season, so we'll see if she can do it again.
