FRENCH LICK, Ind. (AP) Trish Johnson shot a 5-under 67 in windy conditions Monday to take a four-stroke lead in the Senior LPGA Championship, the first major championship for senior women.
The 51-year-old Englishwoman birdied all four par-5 holes and had seven birdies and a double bogey in wind gusting to 33 mph at French Lick Resort’s Pete Dye Course.
”It was a tough day, but I struck the ball really nicely and the wind didn’t affect me too much,” Johnson said.
Johnson won the Legends Tour Championship last year at French Lick, beating Juli Inkster on the sixth hole of a playoff.
