Three players share Farr lead after first round

Morgan Pressel, Song-Hee Kim and Laura Diaz made the most of the defending champion's absence at the Jamie Farr Owens Corning Classic. Each shot a 7-under 64 after Paula Creamer withdrew because of a thumb injury, taking a one-shot lead over Michelle Wie and Suzann Pettersen after Thursday's opening round at Highland Meadows. Pressel, who was second at the Farr two years ago to five-time winner Se Ri Pak, didn't have a bogey and birdied four holes in a row late in her round.
