Sorenstam shares lead

Annika Sorenstam enjoyed a strong start at the Sybase Classic last night, firing a five-under-par 67 to join Song-Hee Kim and Rachel Hetherington at the top of the leaderboard after the opening round.

The former world number one, who announced on Tuesday that she would be retiring at the end of the season, made five birdies in a bogey-free round at Upper Montclair Country Club to continue her recent impressive form.
