(Reuters) - Australian Minjee Lee can join an elite group if she wins the Women's British Open, and she made a promising start by grabbing the first-round lead at Royal Lytham & St. Annes on Thursday.
Lee sank a 25-foot eagle at the par-five 15th and followed up with a birdie from a similar distance at the next on her way to a seven-under-par 65 and a one-stroke lead over Japan's Mamiko Higa on a day of low scoring near the Lancashire coast.
