GUADALAJARA, Mexico (AP) ― Thailand’s Pornanong Phatlum took the first-round lead Thursday in the Lorena Ochoa Invitational, birdieing seven of the first 13 holes at Guadalajara Country Club.

The 23-year-old Phatlum, winless in five seasons on the LPGA Tour, dropped a stroke on the par-4 14th hole and finished with a 6-under 66.

Amy Yang was a stroke back, and fellow South Korean players Park In-bee and Ryu So-yeon were two shots back at 68 along with Sweden’s Anna Nordqvist.

The top-ranked Park swept the first three major championships of the season and has three other LPGA Tour wins this season.

She’s winless in eight starts since the U.S. Women’s Open in late June.

Michelle Wie shot 69. She won the 2009 tournament for the first of her two LPGA Tour victories.
