LONDON: Australia's Karrie Webb has checked a sublime 65 to assert a restricted lead after the opening round of the Scottish Open. 

Webb discharged five birdies in succession from the eleventh and seven in her last 10 openings to complete seven-under-standard at Dundonald Links, a shot in front of American Cristie Kerr. 

"When we were warming up and for our initial couple of openings it was truly cool and truly blustery," Webb said. "I took a gander at the scoreboard and saw that Cristie Kerr shot six-under and I resembled, 'What course did she play today?' 

"At that point I kind of truly kept it together through the front nine and made a decent birdie on nine to turn at one under, and after that just truly began swinging at it well and hitting it very close and had some great birdie risks and took advantage of them. 

"I simply continued instructing myself to continue onward. When you make a couple of birdies (it's essential) not to simply go into the method of hanging on." 

Su Oh was the following best Australian with a one-more than 73. Minjee Lee was a further shot back close by Katherine Kirk and New Zealand genius Lydia Ko.
