RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. — France’s Karine Icher shot a five-under-par 67 to take an early lead at the ANA Inspiration on Thursday before high winds shortened the opening day of the L.P.G.A. Tour’s first major of the year.
Half the field was still on the Dinah Shore Course at Mission Hills Country Club when intense winds forced an early halt to play. The first round will resume Friday morning.
Four players on the course were one shot behind Icher, including Michelle Wie and the 17-year-old amateur Eun Jeong Seong.
Wie, a former child prodigy, played her opening round with 14-year-old Lucy Li, who was one-under.
