Prattville (United States) (AFP) - Brittany Lang, newly selected for the US Solheim Cup team, validated captain Juli Inkster's confidence by grabbing the first-round lead in the LPGA Classic.
Lang got off to a sizzling start on the par-72 Senator course with five birdies in the first seven holes. She was seven-under through 12 and looked set for a possible course record until she was slowed by bogeys at 13 and 14.
