Saucon Valley update
Na-Yeon Choi birdied her first three holes -- and four of her first five -- and has a two-shot lead at the US Women's Open. Choi, playing in her third Open, just holed out for birdie from a greenside bunker on No. 2. She has played 11 holes of her first round, and currently leads five players by two strokes. Among that group is Lorena Ochoa and 2007 Women's Open champion Cristie Kerr.
Some big names had rough days: Yani Tseng shot 77, Angela Stanford 78, and Helen Alfredsson, who was second a year ago, had 80.
Alison Walshe of Westwood is 12 holes into her first round and is 6 over. Amateur Brittany Altomare had a 75, while Briana Vega of Andover shot 81.
