(The Sports Xchange) - Gerina Piller shot an eight-under 63 to take a one-stroke lead over red-hot U.S. Women's Open champion Park Sung-hyun of South Korea and Peiyun Chien of Taiwan after Thursday's opening round in the Marathon Classic.
Park, the 23-year-old LPGA Tour rookie who won her first major title last week at Trump National in New Jersey, continued her sublime form with seven birdies in a bogey-free round at Highland Meadows Golf Club in Sylvania, Ohio.
