Canadian Open - 1st Round

Michelle Wie fired a 65, aided by a hole-in-one, to lead at the CN Canadian Women's Open.  Sarah Kemp is in second place three shots back, defending champion Suzann Pettersen is in third with a 69 while eight players are tied for fourth after rounds of 70.

Wie birdied six times with one bogey and aced the par-3 11^th hole with a 5-iron.  This has to be classified as a great round, given the windy conditions and the day's other results - nobody else better than 68, only two other rounds in the 60s and just 23 total rounds under par.  Michelle somehow did this despite hitting four fairways (she reached GIR 13 times and used 25 putts).  The other scores of note:

The Top 10 is filled with names not seen there recently, namely Kemp (who broke 70 for only the third time in 25 rounds this year), Hung, Duncan, Lindberg, IH Lee and two names you know but haven't seen this far up the board in a while - McPherson and Jane Park.  With a little luck, Thompson's 71 could have been much better - her tee shot at 16 went into a tree and didn't come down, resulting in a double-bogey.  I didn't list her score above (since very few others matched it) but ROY leader Azahara Munoz posted an 82 - her one birdie was obliterated by two double-bogeys and seven bogeys.  A total of 35 putts tells me that the wind-blown greens ruined her day.
