(Reuters) - Juli Inkster, inspired by a pre-tournament dinner with former U.S. President George W. Bush, surged into a three-way tie for the lead after the opening round of the North Texas Shootout on Thursday.

The 54-year-old compiled six birdies to join fellow Americans Cristie Kerr and Sydnee Michaels at five-under-par 66 at the Las Colinas Country Club in Irving.
