Defending champion Lee Westwood shot a 7-under 65 Thursday to take a two-shot lead after the first round of the Indonesian Masters. The third-ranked Englishman opened his round with three consecutive birdies and added six more at the Royale Jakarta Golf Club, mixed with two bogeys. Arnond Vongvanij of Thailand shot a bogey-free 67 to sit in second place. A group of six golfers were another shot back in a tie for third, including Indian duo Jyoti Randhawa and Shiv Kapur. Westwood took last week off after finishing third at the Masters, and said he felt rejuvenated after getting some rest. Arnond had birdies on the second and third holes and added three more on the back nine. Three-time Asian Tour champion Thongchai Jaidee of Thailand had a disappointing start, making four bogeys and one double bogey on his way to a 75. Bader ahead In Kapolei, Hawaii, Beth Bader fired a four-under par 68 Wednesday to seize a one-shot lead over a quartet of players, including Taiwan's Yani Tseng, at the inaugural LPGA Lotte Championship. Bader, without a victory in 13 LPGA Tour seasons, teed off on 10 and had five birdies – including three in a row from the par-five fifth. Tseng, the world No. 1 who has won three of the first six LPGA Tour events this season, was in a group sharing second on 69 that also included South Korean star Jiyai Shin, HSBC Champions winner Angela Stanford and Brittany Lang. South Korea's Sun Young Yoo led a group of six players on two-under 70. Kim, who missed a one-foot putt on the final hole of regulation that would have given her the victory in the Kraft Nabisco, posted a 71.
