(Reuters) - A flawless, six-under-par round propelled Danielle Kang to an early lead at the LPGA's inaugural Drive On Championship in Toledo, Ohio, with South Africa's Lee-Anne Pace one stroke behind.

The 54-hole tournament at Inverness Club started on Friday in a fanless setting as the LPGA got back into action after the coronavirus outbreak forced the suspension of play following the Women's Australia Open on Feb. 16.
